So just purchased the remastered Cinderella, on the preview it shows full screen 4K, however when playing the movie, no way it’s in 4K, and displays it at 4:3. Did Apple ripped me off?

Cinderella it’s a 4:3 movie.

Resolution and aspect ratio are different things.

Wait until you find out that a ton of early digital movies that claim to be 4k are just upscaled 2k.

Cinderella (1950) - Technical specifications - IMDb

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042332/technical/

Aspect ratio 1.37:1

1.37:1 (Academy ratio).

Only slightly wider than the 4:3 ratio used throughout the silent film era, the Academy Ratio was the standard film ratio in 1932 when “talkies” (aka, films with sound) began.
