Macworld’s Christopher Breen discovered quite by accident that Apple allows for you to keep your rentals longer than 24 hours.

Apparently, if you pause the movie, and keep it paused, you can finish watching it once you press play again, no matter how long after the expiration it is.

For instance, if you start watching a movie today, and then pause it, and then a month later click play again, your device will display a screen informing you that the rental has expired and you can either “Resume” or “Delete.” Clicking “Resume” continues the movie, but it is un-pauseable and if you stop it, the movie will delete.

This is a nice little feature Apple has added in that basically ensures you get to see the whole movie as long as you only paused it. Breen notes that once he force-restarted his iPod, the rental was no longer there.
