The name “Apple TV” It’s been quite confusing for users since the Californian company launched its video platform upon request a few years ago. Very similar names for various products or services. Apple has decided to remove the “+” sign from Apple TV+, which will now be referred to simply as Apple TV, perhaps creating even more confusion.

This is true This simplification may be goodAs many media outlets mentioned “Apple TV Plus”, the majority of users simply used “Apple TV” while others used the official name “Apple TV+”. No problem on that side, the problem is that Apple now has 3 products called exactly the same.

The term Apple TV is quite confusing

Right now, “Apple TV” is very confusing because when you name it you may be referring to three completely different products. It’s a strange situation with Apple, as the company usually chooses the name of its products very carefully:

• Apple TV, device: Apple TV is a device you connect to enhance your television, offering an advanced operating system, many apps and games, AirPlay, syncing with iPhone content, and a better way to interact with your television.
• Apple TV, platform: After losing the “+” sign, Apple TV is now also a platform for original Apple streaming content, including TV series, movies, and documentaries.
• Apple TV, app: We have an application of the same name with which you can watch Apple TV on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV device.

So, you could literally say something like: “To watch Apple TV from the Apple TV app, turn on Apple TV”. It’s a phrase that’s as entertaining as it is confusing, though Apple may be about to put an end to it one way or another.

That being said Apple is about to launch the new Apple TV 4Ka new version of your device to connect to the television. Maybe it’s time to change the name of this product as well, and perhaps change its design or the role it plays among the company’s devices. Or it could be the last version before it disappears.
