IMPORTANT: If you delete a rented movie from iPhone, it is deleted permanently and cannot be transferred back to your computer.

You can connect iPhone to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other authorized iPhone compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock to connect iPhone to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote, which allows you to control playback from a distance.) Apple cables and docks are available for purchase separately at www.apple.com/ipodstore.
