, but I have often wondered why they incorporated the word “TV” into the names for streaming devices such as Fire TV and Apple TV, and the streaming service Apple TV+. It does seem inappropriate since they are streaming devices and not actual TVs. There are Smart TVs on the market that have the Fire TV app installed, not sure if any have the Apple TV app installed, but those aren’t actually TVs with the Fire brand name or Apple brand name on them. So yes, the naming scheme for streaming devices by Amazon and Apple are definitely odd and somewhat confusing.
