Also a trend in making things increasingly less googleable.
iTunes->Music. Searching for issues with the application formerly known as iTunes is borderline impossible now.
Whoever approved that must’ve gotten an MBA from a top-ranked school, because any decent person would immediately recognize it as a bad idea.
- mttjj 5y agoDon’t ever try to search for Apple TV. Are you talking about the physical streaming device? The ‘TV’ app (iOS version? iPadOS version? tvOS version? macOS version? Or maybe the version on your LG TV?) Or maybe you’re even talking about the AppleTV+ streaming service. Same searching issues with ‘Mail’, ‘Notes’, ‘Reminders’, ‘Calendar’, ‘Numbers’, etc. Impossible to troubleshoot. I’m as much of an Apple fanboy as the next guy, but I totally agree that this naming is ridiculous. At least Safari isn’t ‘Web’ (yet).

- usrusr 5y agoThe Word text processor was already ungoogleable before there even was Google. This lexicographic landgrab not exactly a new phenomenon. Within platforms like Apple OS it's a very powerful tool: if you give your app for doing something a brand it effectively admits that there could be other apps, but if you don't that is easy to forget.
