Apple rebrands their 2015 Apple TV as ‘Apple TV HD’

“Following the event today, Apple has not released any new hardware but it has rebranded the 2015 fourth-generation Apple TV as the Apple TV HD,” Benjamin Mayo reports for 9to5Mac. “The set-top box, formerly known as simply ‘Apple TV,’ now has a better name that it distinguishes it from the newer Apple TV 4K.”
“With the introduction of the Apple TV+ original content offering, Apple now has four products that start with the name ‘Apple TV.’ Apple TV app, Apple TV+, Apple TV 4K, and Apple TV HD,” Mayo reports. “However, the change to the Apple TV box is merely a rebrand. ”
