Apple TV+ rebranded to Apple TV

14 October 2025
That's the streaming service, not to be confused with the Apple TV app or set-top box.

    They realized they had to do this because they just did the same with the 17 Plus.

    They had to get rid of the 17 Plus because it was a cheap way for the peasants to get the Pro Max form factor for cheap. (So they replaced it with the Air (which is significantly worse)

    Had you people bought the 12 Mini & 13 Mini, we would’ve had something better than the Air.

      ThankGodItsFriday, 16 Oct 2025Apple finally dropped the + suffix, which seems like such a... moreHow are you going to differentiate:
      1- “Hey how about we watch a Disney movie?”
      2- “Hey, how about we watch a Disney+ movie?”

      • 1 can be used to imply you’re picking a Disney movie at your local cinema.
      • 2 implies ANY movie on the entire catalogue of Disney+.

        Apple finally dropped the + suffix, which seems like such a 2010s thing to do, really. Too bad we can't convince the others who still have pluses in their name to get a clue that their pluses don't mean anything.

        I mean, come on! Does Discovery+ really have anything worth watching that Discovery channels don't already have? How about Disney+, Paramount+, ESPN+? We don't need another + service; all we need is quality content at an affordable price. If that's already offered by an existing service, why sign up for more pluses?

          Unless they change the name of the hardware box for the next update, this is unnecessarily confusing.

                  They should have change it to "Apple Movies" or something.
                  I already have confusions when talking to some people, and saying to them I watch movies on Apple TV+. They immediately would asked me if I have an Apple TV box.
                  Now, that the name is basically the same, the confusion will be even bigger.

                    I don't use Apple TV and I'm still alive.

                      Are we having HBO renaming spree coming up for Apple TV+ every few years? /jk

                              Hilarious, everyone copied Apple in calling all their streaming services "+" and now Apple are dropping it! Apple TV is a silly name anyway because people confuse it with the actual box all the time.

                                Describing the removal of the + as "a vibrant new identity" must be the overstatement of the year!

                                  can someone tell the pope about this? i can't get hold of him...
