Apple TV's 'Vibrant' Rebranding Starts to Appear in Latest iOS 26.1 Beta

(Side note, Tim Cook insisting on calling every single product or service Apple XYZ makes the "i" branding of the Jobs 2-era seem downright acceptable.)

Indeed, they should call it Banana TV.

maybe the hardware will be joining the HomePod lineup. "HomePod TV"

Seems possible something like “Apple Home TV” as they’re working on homeOS and the Apple TV works as a hub. Maybe next tvOS becomes homeOS and they bring more home automation features to it (and pave the way for the new iPad like homeOS device)

Anyone from the UK having flash-backs right about now...?

removing the + is less ink to be printed on boxes and pixels to activate. Classic Apple Finance.

wow that is bad Did Apple fire their entire design and Art department. Never seen anything official so awful and un-Apple.

This cracks me up so much.

It's like their whole "design" team just discovered Photoshop filters for the first time.

Time really is a flat circle.

Isn't that the worst? It looks like Appe fired their entire art department so Tim Cook or Eddy Cue did it themselves.

Maybe Apple Home Hub?

I want them to go with HomePort and also bring back AirPort with their own Wifi chip.

This feels so weird what
And I like change...

Can Apple coordinate with the government and sanctions any nations with piracy sites? It's incredibly demoralizing to see thieves have access to quality Apple TV programming, without helping pay for it.

Demoralizing why? Do you work in the industry?

Tim Apple must be betting on that rainbow logo making everyone forget about his sycophancy to the hateful orange menace in the white house. In reality his fans will probably just call Apple woke 😂

I'm sure that the graphic designers who made the new logos and the marketing people who changed all the terminology across the website and everything are great coders too.

So the poster said the money spent on this. Additional money could be allocated to software engineers and QA testers instead of this. Because that’s how money works. It’s a waste when some of your platforms are on fire.

Apple TV needs less of a rebrand and more series that don’t fall off a cliff after the first season.

One really has nothing to do with the other.

It looks like the color is draining out the bottom.

You just gotta pop the hood and top it up.

 

[Scoob Redux]

I'm with you, I think this is woefully misguided. However, just thinking about what prompted this - if I were to guess, it would be the recent MLB games where a lot of people weren't able to watch due to simple confusion between "Apple TV" and Apple TV +.

Example: "Dad, you need Apple TV+ to watch the game." "I have an Apple TV, why can't I see the game?"

But in your example, how does this help? Now it's "You can watch with Apple TV." "I have an Apple TV." It's even worse.

Can't .. the ink tanks are soldered down and not user accessible.

You should of bought the logo with more ink at the time of purchase from Apple.

Apple is happy to recycle your old logo for free if you buy a new one.

 

[BelgianChoklit]

This warrants a price hike.

Champagne, champagne for everyone!

Special imported "real" champagne brought in on Tim's jet!
Don't worry .. they'll buy some carbon credits to make it suddenly "eco friendly".

 

[MallardDuck]

Wonder if this means that the appletv refresh is going to be a different hardware device (or at least named different)

that applies to all production houses. Just look at Netflix.

 

[sigmasirrus]

At this point Apple’s software quality is no different from Android or Windows. Used to be clean smooth…

 

[ApAx]

“An all-original streaming service”

…does that mean I will lose all the “box set” purchases I have in my apple tv library from tv shows of yesteryear that I enjoy watching for nostalgia purposes?

 

[Reggiebaldwin]

What’s with all the duplo and rainbow colors Tim? Not everyone wants rainbows displayed around their house just because you do. Orange iPhone pros? Why not keep products with professional colors and spend the money on relevant software updates. A little better microphone in my beloved iPhone air would be another good use of the extra money.

This makes me think that it's a good thing Apple canned their Car.

"Siri, how do I change the wiper blades?"

"Sorry, I cannot help with that the wiper blades are not user-serviceable. Please contact Apple Support to schedule a service appointment."

Have you tried completely reinstalling the OS to see if it solves the speedometer issue?
