The End of iTunes Wish Lists
Apple will soon do away with iTunes Wish Lists featuring movie and TV shows, according to emails going out to customers as of today. Apple says that people who still have wish lists should migrate items to their Apple TV watchlist before the feature is removed.
Each email that Apple is sending out includes a PDF with TV shows and movies that are on the individual’s iTunes Wish List. Apple says that users can tap on each link and then tap on the “+” button to get items to appear in the Apple TV watchlist.
Seriously? They couldn’t manage to code this up, I have to transfer each one manually? Really?
is this finally the end of the iTunes Store app?
I hope not, because the Music and TV apps don’t really offer the same functionality for managing the content you or a family member has purchased.
I used to use it to keep a list of movies I was interested and then bought them when they went on sale. Pretty annoying that they removed this feature.

I’m just here so DD can tell me this is good, actually, and that I am a peasant for not understanding why.
It’s just not in Apple’s model anymore to offer one time purchase. It’s been clear for some time their focus has been solely on in app purchase and subscription media.
It does still seem to be in Amazon’s and Google’s so until the cartel makes the decision to stop, there will at least be a buried “buy” option underneath all the subscription links.
But that’s next on the chopping block. Even though it just means “buy a license to stream this until we decide we don’t want to let you anymore.”
