Unfortunately, it's not yet possible as there is no Microsoft Movies & TV / Xbox Video app available for iOS or Android devices.
Possible to watch movies I purchased on XBOX One on my Apple iPhone?

I have a media purchasing dilemma. I am trying to decide how I will purchase movies going forward. I have an iPhone 6 Plus, but I love the idea of using my XBOX as a media center. Is it possible to watch movies that I purchase from the Microsoft Store on my XBOX One on my iPhone? Is there a Microsoft player or app that will enable me to access my Microsoft purchased movies on my iPhone? Or will I be limited to watching it ONLY on my XBOX One?
If I'm limited to watching only on my XBOX One, then I won't use my XBOX as media center. I'll just get an Apple TV because I'd like to be able to take my purchased content with me everywhere. Any help and insight will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When Microsoft officially re branded Movies and TV and Groove Music I remember clearly reading that Groove music was available on Android and iOS and Movie and TV would be coming soon.....

2016-10-03T20:59:52+00:00 I have over 300 movies now on Microsoft Videos and I am really disappointed that almost three years after it was mentioned by Microsoft that there will be an IoS app that is still does not exist. I feel like I have been mislead and will no longer be buying movies from Microsoft!!

Thanks, airmattdog. That is the classiest way for someone from Microsoft to say "deal with it" without actually saying it. Good to keep things classy.
So I have bought a decent amount of TV shows and Movies from Microsoft, not a ridiculous amount mind you, but I won't continue this in future. While I love my XBOX one (objectively less so now unfortunately)
I cannot fathom why Microsoft would want to be so stubborn with opening up viewing options. Just doing a quick google search and reading the titles, so not the most in depth analysis obviously, it looks like Windows OS phones are at less than 1% of market share in mobile phones. NO ONE is going to start buying Windows phones or tablets so that they can watch their purchased content from Windows conveniently.... At most very very few might but god help them. Most people like myself are just going to shop elsewhere. Anything I buy from Google for example I can watch on my mobile devices AND MY XBOX ONE from the Youtube app.... Soooooooo.....
I don't know what your margins are for the sale of movies and TV shows, but I am sure that it is not nothing... You guys need to start thinking about your competitive advantages and why people should want to do business with Windows, because stuff like this makes the reasons less and less.
