    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.

        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?
