Joe Rossignol<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apple today updated its iTunes Movie Trailers app<\/a> for the iPhone with a notice that the Apple TV app is the new home of movie and TV show trailers. It is no longer possible to use the iTunes Movie Trailers app, which launched in 2011.<\/p>

[…]<\/p>

The accompanying iTunes Movie Trailers website is also no longer available following the transition to the Apple TV app, which began earlier this month<\/a>.<\/p>

In the Apple TV app, there is now a “Watch the Latest Trailers” section in the Store tab, although it might not be visible in all countries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apple was once the best source for finding high-quality and fast-loading versions of the latest trailers. Now, I dread opening the TV app. It’s difficult to navigate and search. I just scrolled through everything but could not find the trailers section. However, a Google search quickly turned up trailers.apple.com<\/a>, which opens the proper section of the app. Normally, though, I just use IMDB<\/a> (easier to browse) or YouTube (can save offline).<\/p>\n\n

Apple killed off its movie trailers site without replacing it in Canada. Left, a bunch of trailers shown in the U.S. version; right, basically nothing in the Canadian version.<\/p>\n

Still no way to access trailers in the TV app in Canada.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

My eyes hurt. Does anybody at the world’s most valuable publicly-traded corporation with a reputation for design and attention to detail review these things before they are pushed to the world?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
