Oppenheimer imax aspect ratio? (alien.top)

Oppenheimer is now available to purchase in the Apple TV app. With previous Blu-ray releases, Nolan expands the aspect ratio for the imax scenes so it's not letterbox. But hasn't done the same for digital purchases (previously).

Has anyone purchased the movie with Apple TV and seen whether the aspect ratio switches? Or is it letterbox the whole way through? I can't see any mention on the store page.

Apple TV 4k in Dolby Vision and Atmos has to be a better experience than HDR10 and DTS, even if the disk has a higher data rate. It's unfortunate that just because it's physical media it gets special treatment, when the digital release will have deeper blacks, brighter highlights and more immersive audio. Oh well, who am I kidding, I'll probably buy both eventually.
