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.
How about the New Nintendo 3DS XL or Xbox One, now with 30% more confusion in conversations.
Now with 40% more confusion.
What? No mention of the Apple TV remote, the Apple TV Siri remote, the Apple TV remote app, or the iOS Apple TV remote app shortcut feature on iOS? The physical Apple remotes are so terrible, I've stopped using Apple TV (all of them). The Apple remote app is better, but is useless for when you need to hit pause, as your phone has gone to sleep.
The awful remote is tolerable with one of these cases: https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Protective-Case-Apple-Remote/d...
I just want free stuff/included stuff. I login to prime/netflix I know where to go to get all the included stuff. on Apple+ via Roku it's confusing as fuck. I think it's meant to be so I dish out cash to watch stuff. But that's not going to happen, instead I'll get pissed off and get rid of the service.
Okay, I think I've got this figured out.

Case in point: once you have defined the three terms, you only use the striped one except at the very end to highlight one difference, which only depends on hardware.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Seems like Apple is going through Xerox phases..Very soon they will have to explain everything. There was a time when Xerox had to explain what their products were for. In one of the computer ads the headline said "This Xerox machine can't make a copy" https://ries.typepad.com/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncatego...

Apple needs to have the marketing people who come up with California-based macOS names sort this out. If they solved the cat naming crisis then surely they can clean up this mess.
If you are at the point that your company is adding MAX to the end of its product names, your company is about to jump the shark (see Boeing).
The best is that you can buy the Apple TV in two sizes! 32 GB and 64 GB. Why you ask? Can the bigger one store more stuff? No, everything’s in the cloud! So what’s it for exactly? Who knows! But it’ll cost you an extra $20 and won’t even come in a different color like the “Pro” keyboards and mice. For a fun exercise go ask an Apple store employee this.

What is the point of separating the macOS, iOS and tvOS apps into three? I think it unnecessarily complicates the thing. They are all mostly the same and only differ by the content they can play, which depends on third party support. Case in point: once you have defined the three terms, you only use the striped one except at the very end to highlight one difference, which only depends on hardware.
But content is a main idea of Apple TV?
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.
