Remember when .NET came out? Everything was .NET. As a result, no-one really had any idea what .NET actually was. Eventually we figured out it was "Microsoft's Java".

Windows also went through a phase in which seemingly everything was Windows.

Or when you want to buy a used one and want to check the value.

I'm never one to jump on the new product bandwagon. I think I'll wait until the Apple TV++ comes out. Plus, it'll probably be object-oriented.

I prefer ++Apple TV

Sounds about par for the course for post-Jobs Apple.

It's been 8 years. People can't honestly still be holding on to this, can they?

This article is about the media player. For the streaming service, see Apple TV+. For the media player app from Apple, see Apple TV (software). For other uses, see Apple TV (disambiguation).

Apple TV+ has its flaws. So did Netflix on day one.

Please don't mind it but you username kind of matches the original post!

Amusing that along with this, there are two articles about caches on the front page of HN right now.

It's also possible the next models will be Apple TVe, Apple TVc, and Apple TVgs.

Not to be confused with the also upcoming Apple iTV.
