iTunes 4K content played on Xbox One X
I was wondering, if I rent a 4K movie on iTunes, will it play on 4K (& maybe HDR) on my Xbox One X console through the AppleTV app or will it only be HD?

Hello sh9dy.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. We see that you would like to know if your Xbox One console with the Apple TV app will support 4K quality movie purchases from the iTunes Store. Great question. Please see the information below from the following resource:
"Refer to the tech specs for your iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV, or your smart TV or streaming device to see if it supports playing 4K, HDR, or Dolby Vision videos.
If you see a message that your device might not be able to play 1080p (HD) or 4K videos
When you buy or rent a movie or TV show from the Apple TV app, the device that you're using might warn you that it can't play 1080p (HD) or 4K video content. Instead, your device automatically plays the highest-quality version of that video that it can. Your other Apple devices will play the higher-quality version if they're compatible.
To stream high-quality video formats, you need a fast Internet connection. Apple recommends a minimum speed of 25 Mbps for 4K streaming. If your Internet connection isn't fast enough, your Apple devices automatically switch the video quality to a lower-quality version."
Cheers.
