Apple TV+ redubbed as simply Apple TV (the same name as an app and a set-top box)

Apple’s Senior Vice President of Services Eddy Cue explained why the company decided to drop the “+” from Apple TV+ and why it won’t create confusion with its other products of the same name.

Apple has announced that Apple TV+ is being rebranded as simply Apple TV.

From the announcement: Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app in over 100 countries and regions, on over 1 billion screens, including iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Vision Pro, Mac, popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL and others, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, Chromecast with Google TV, PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles, and at tv.apple.com, for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. For a limited time, customers who purchase and activate a new iPhone, iPad, Apple TV or Mac can enjoy three months of Apple TV for free.

So this means we’ll have Apple TV the streaming service, Apple TV the app, and Apple TV the set-top box. Apparently, Apple is running out of names.
