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.

It gives you access to all movies that you have purchased on your Xbox, that are Disney movies. I have not yet found a way to watch any of the other movies that have been purchased on Xbox only the Disney movies

I have to disagree. Apple has NOT solved this problem as you can only watch iTunes movies in the Apple ecosystem. You can watch movies bought from Microsoft on PCs, Xbox, Windows phones and tablets. For Apple, you can watch their movies on iPhones and iPads and PCs if you download iTunes. In order to watch them on tv you have to spend $100 to buy an Apple TV device to stream them, or buy an iPhone HDMI adapter to connect your phone to the tv.
