> Right there on the app is the apple logo in front of the letters TV, aka AppleTV.

> So if you're stipulating it is read as Apple TV for the device, why would it also not be read the same way for the app using the exact same logo?

The logo of WhatsApp is a chat bubble containing a phone handset, yet it's not called "Chat bubble containing a phone handset WhatsApp".

Of course it can make sense to call the app "Apple TV", to disambiguate it from e.g. the Netflix app on an iPhone. I'm just saying that I don't think that that is its official name, and I also don't think this is very confusing in practice.

Netflix is also both an app and a company! Just say "Apple TV app" or "Apple TV device" if you want to disambiguate them?

> Launching that app in the left hand menu, it clearly states Apple TV+ as an option.

I never claimed that there was no service called "Apple TV+".

I was referring to Apple TV, not Apple TV+, specifically in response to:

> I think it’s a big unaddressed problem for Apple that they have an Apple TV device, an Apple TV app, an Apple TV service, and an Apple TV Plus service.

There's at least one too many "Apple TV x"s in that list, is my point. Apple TV is a device; (Apple) TV is also an app. The streaming service is called Apple TV+.

> Launching that app in the left hand menu, it clearly states Apple TV+ as an option. [...] You are now aware. That's all I was doing. I never said you never said blah blah blah

What? I've been using Apple TV+ for years. Of course they're promoting their own streaming content service in their own app!
