### CODA Blu-ray and DVD Now Ready for Purchase

Recently, just before its debut on Apple TV, *F1 The Movie* was launched on Blu-ray, and now another notable Apple original film is arriving on physical media: the Oscar-winning *CODA*.

#### A Landmark for Streaming Movies

*CODA* was among the first films funded by Apple TV and has since achieved significant success for the platform. In 2022, it made groundbreaking history by being the first film from a streaming service to secure the Oscar for Best Picture, signaling a notable milestone in the film sector.

After years of exclusive availability on Apple TV, the company is introducing *CODA* on Blu-ray and DVD. This release is currently available for order, with shipments expected on November 4. Consumers can obtain the film in three formats, catering to various preferences for physical media.

#### The Transition to Physical Media

This release reflects a rising trend among streaming platforms to provide physical versions of their films. Initially, a number of streaming services, including Apple, opted for digital-only distribution. Nonetheless, the interest in owning physical media has turned out to be more robust than expected.

As subscription fatigue emerges and content licensing becomes increasingly unstable, many viewers express a desire to own their favorite films and TV shows. This transition reveals a larger acknowledgment of the worth of physical media in a world largely influenced by digital streaming.

#### Viewer Choices

The question persists: do you like to acquire Blu-ray editions of your favorite films, or do you stick exclusively to streaming? As the market progresses, consumer choices will continue to influence the offerings from streaming platforms.

Apple TV is presently accessible for $12.99 per month and includes popular series and films such as *Ted Lasso*, *Severance*, *The Morning Show*, *Silo*, and *Shrinking*.
