Disappointed to see very little in the way of actual discussion, and just a load of shitposting.
But to be fair, this is almost certainly bollocks. It was bollocks when it was first floated a decade ago, and it remains so. As much as the oft-rumoured Apple TV set was.
At best, Apple are expanding what they offer in-car, which, y’know, they’re already doing anyway.
Why would Apple want to get the car building market? It makes no sense at all.
Isn't Apple TV a thing though? It's been a thing for a long time.
It's not a TV though, it's a streaming box. If they ever do make an actual TV that's going to be really confusing.
The other reply has covered what Apple TV is, but for context; some 15 years ago there were regular reports that Apple were about to release their own TV set.
At a glance, this isn’t too dumb; they already had a standalone monitor, and the difference between an iMac and an LCD TV isn’t huge. But give it more than a moment’s thought and you realise that it’s complete bollocks. People replace computers semi regularly because more powerful ones come along. How often do you replace your TV?
Happens on mostly every apple post. Super cringe.
