Watching rented movies
You can rent movies from the iTunes Store and watch them on iPhone. You can download rented

movies may not be available in all areas.)
Rented movies expire, and once you start watching, you have a limited amount of time to finish.
The time remaining appears near the title. Rented items are deleted when they expire. Before
renting a movie, check the iTunes Store for the rental period. For information, see “Purchasing or
renting videos” on page 116.
