What is the point of separating the macOS, iOS and tvOS apps into three? I think it unnecessarily complicates the thing. They are all mostly the same and only differ by the content they can play, which depends on third party support.
Case in point: once you have defined the three terms, you only use the striped one except at the very end to highlight one difference, which only depends on hardware.
- deelly 7y ago> They are all mostly the same and only differ by the content they can play.. But content is a main idea of Apple TV?
- yoz-y 7y agoIt is, but if you define the Apple TV app as a sink that aggregates all content available on your platform, then it makes sense that it is different on each one. Since the way the app works is that it bounces you to the source. To me there is the device, the app and the streaming service. The Channels is just a feature of the app. I agree that the naming is not ideal, but that is on par for course with Apple nowadays.

- Razengan 7y agoThis is actually the most plausible reason. Macs for example got the ability to play your purchased 4K content long after tvOS.
