The Movie" has included notifications, a vibrating iPhone trailer, and a surprise Brad Pitt drop-in.

Halfway through a climactic race in “F1 The Movie,” something goes horribly wrong for our heroes. And yet, through a fluke of Formula 1’s complex and inscrutable rules, the underdog Apex Grand Prix team comes out on top. (Don’t worry, this isn’t a spoiler. It’s a recurring theme throughout the two-and-a-half-hour-long film.)

After years of middling success on the big screen, Apple has bet big on the racecar movie starring Brad Pitt with a budget of nearly $250 million.
