We really wanted an actual TV set made by Apple. It all started in 2006 when Steve Jobs gave us a sneak peek of the iTV. If only so that we can always refer you back to here, let us attempt to clear up the mess before Apple brings out yet another version of the Apple TV hardware.

More seriously, we do regularly find ourselves having to explain how to get Apple TV+ through the Apple TV app on Apple TV. We'd say that there may be a prize for anyone who can contort all eight into a single sentence, but we tried that above. Not just of products named Apple, but specifically products named Apple TV.Ĭounting the different services, the different hardware, and the different apps, we make it that you can use the words "Apple TV" to mean about eight different things. Curiously, you can even date the move from "i" to "Apple" with the Apple TV as that had originally been announced under the name iTV.Īt the time, changing it to Apple TV was just a legal decision after grumbles from the UK's television network ITV, but since then it's given rise to a generation. Once the company took "Computer" out of its name, and once it stopped using "i" in front of everything, it settled on prefixing every product with the word Apple. It appears that nobody else in Apple has ever said no since. Just as there's a Windows key for PCs, there would've been an Apple key for Macs, but Steve Jobs said no. The reason that your Mac keyboard has a Command key with that clover-like icon is that designer Susan Kare put it there, but the reason she did is that Steve Jobs rejected the Mac team's original plan to put an Apple logo on it.
