However, since only Apple’s own TV app gained the ability to handle 4K content, every other streaming service continued to be stuck at 1080p, leaving users to turn to an Apple TV, smart TV, or other set-top streaming boxes if they wanted to get full 4K HDR quality.
This was no doubt at least partly so that users could enjoy new Apple TV+ content in all of its 4K glory, but with it also came support for watching iTunes purchased and rented movies and TV shows in the higher resolution as well - as long as you were running a more recent model of Mac. It wasn’t until Apple split up iTunes with macOS Catalina last year that 4K streaming came to the Mac through Apple’s own TV app.

In other words, even if you had splurged for the most expensive 27-inch 5K Retina iMac or iMac Pro, you were still limited to watching your movies in 1080p HD, even if you had purchased them in 4K from iTunes, and the same limitations applied to streaming services like Netflix and even YouTube.
