“Do you have Apple TV?”
"Yes."
This is going to be super clear for everyone, I'm sure.

@marcoarment Watch AppleTV by launching AppleTV on your AppleTV and selecting AppleTV.
@marcoarment I thought about this for a while and then my wife asked me where our Alexa is. She obviously meant our Echo speaker but took the name of the software for the hardware.So maybe it‘s not that stupid by Apple to give the service and the hardware the same name.
As usual, Carrot Weather doesn't miss a beat.
@marcoarment I suspect they will rename the Apple TV hardware to something. I propose Apple TV Box
@marcoarment Yo, dawg, I heard you liked AppleTV.
So we put AppleTV on your AppleTV so you can watch AppleTV in AppleTV on your AppleTV.
@marcoarment I have an Apple TV player. It has an Apple TV app on it. I use the app on my player to watch the Apple TV service. I mean, if you can handle the contextual elasticity and semantic drift of emojis, navigating the three meanings of Apple TV should be pretty easy.
@marcoarment I have Apple TV, which I watch on Apple TV on my Apple TV.
@marcoarment do you think they're about to abandon the hardware?
@marcoarment FIL: “Why doesn’t my Apple TV have the same shows you have in your Apple TV?”
Me: “Some of them are paid stuff, you need to get an Apple TV subscription for those.”
FIL: “Okay I got the subscription, but my Apple TV still doesn’t have what yours has, can you come look?”
*3 hour drive to my in-laws*
Me: “Oh. You meant on your Apple TV box, not the app huh? You just need to download the Netflix app to see those shows.”
I can already feel it.
@marcoarment They should rebrand it Apple TV Air.
@marcoarment Maybe we’ll get a „HomePod TV“ or „Apple TV Stick“ and a soundbar with tvOS?
@marcoarment I LITERALLY HAD THIS CONVO WITH MY MOM THE OTHER DAY—
She tends to watch regular Cable with the Cable box, but has an AppleTV and used to have ATV+ from a promo but now doesn't.. All she could tell me was “It should be on the AppleTV but it wants me to pay?”
@marcoarment The next smart home device will be small, round, comes in green or red, and will just be called Apple
I’m wondering if the Apple TV device gets a name change soon…
@marcoarment I wouldn’t be surprised if the Apple TV+ name returns when they launch the inevitable ad supported of the service. With “plus” being the ad free tier.
@marcoarment at the risk of being sensible, this could make sense … if the rumoured HomeOS devices include a defacto replacement for the Apple TV (the device) that isn’t called Apple TV. At least then you’d only be watching Apple TV (the service) on Apple TV (the app) on the what, Apple HomePad? Apple TV Pro? Apple Vision TV Ultra?
God, it’s not much better is it?
@marcoarment The days are numbered for the device, or Tim is renaming it Trump TV.
@marcoarment "My app is available for Apple TV!” — surely something that won't cause disappointment for anyone.
