Apple has officially rebranded its streaming platform, dropping the “Plus” from Apple TV+. Cupertino giant is giving it a new and simplified identity, Apple TV. The quiet rebrand marks a new chapter for the company’s entertainment business, signalling a more unified ecosystem across hardware and streaming.

Apple TV+ Is Now Apple TV

Unlike typical Apple product announcements, this change wasn’t revealed through a major event or promotional campaign. Instead, it appeared subtly within a press release for the upcoming film F1, which premieres globally on December 12.

The press note included a single but significant line, “Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity.” The company reiterated, “Apple TV+ is now simply Apple TV, with a vibrant new identity. Ahead of its global streaming debut on Apple TV, the film continues to be available for purchase on participating digital platforms, including the Apple TV app, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home and more.”

Apple has not specified when the new branding will roll out across all apps and marketing materials. As of writing this piece, the Apple TV+ logo was still visible on the app interface. The company also hasn’t shared details about what exactly this new identity entails, but fans can likely expect refreshed artwork, logos, and a visual redesign in the coming weeks.

Why Apple Dropped the “Plus”?

When Apple TV+ launched in 2019, the name caused widespread confusion since Apple TV was already the name of the company’s set-top streaming device.

As noted by Apple Insider, this overlap often led to users mixing up the Apple TV app, the hardware, and the subscription service. Dropping the “Plus” helps Apple streamline its branding, making its entertainment ecosystem more cohesive and easier to understand.

The rebranding comes just months after Apple increased the subscription cost of its streaming service by over 30%, from $9.99 to $12.99 per month. Interestingly, Apple TV remains one of the few major streaming services without an ad-supported plan, setting it apart from competitors like Netflix, Disney+, and Prime Video.

Industry insiders believe the rebrand could be part of a larger strategy. Some analysts speculate that Apple may be planning to merge its hardware and streaming services under one unified Apple TV brand, while others suggest an ad-supported tier could arrive soon. Apple is looking to expand its subscriber base and revenue in an increasingly crowded streaming market.

FAQs

Q1. What has Apple changed about its streaming service name?

Answer. Apple has officially dropped the “Plus” from Apple TV+, rebranding it simply as “Apple TV” to create a more unified and simplified entertainment identity.

Q2. Why did Apple remove the “Plus” from Apple TV+?

Answer. The “Plus” caused confusion with Apple’s hardware and app ecosystem. Removing it helps streamline branding and reduce overlap between the service, app, and device.

Q3. When will the new Apple TV branding take full effect?

Answer. Apple hasn’t specified a rollout timeline, but the change was quietly announced via a press release. Visual updates like logos and artwork are expected soon.

Highlights

  • Nothing Phone (3a) Lite tipped for launch as a budget-friendly Phone soon.
  • It is expected in Black and White colours with single 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant.
  • It is most likely priced below the $379 Phone (3a), aiming to expand Nothing’s reach in the budget segment.

Nothing Founder and CEO Carl Pei earlier confirmed that the Nothing Phone (3) would be the last model in the Phone (3) lineup. However, a new report now suggests otherwise. Nothing is reportedly planning to extend the series with a new addition called the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite. Here’s what we know so far.

Is Nothing Phone (3a) Lite Coming?

Tech publisher Xpertpick, in an exclusive collaboration with tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore @Sudhanshu1414 on X (formerly Twitter), claims that the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite will make its debut later this year. The device is said to get a global release including availability in India.

While specific design details remain under wraps, the report reveals that the Phone (3a) Lite will come in Black and White colour options, following a design choice consistent with Nothing’s signature minimal aesthetic. It hasn’t been confirmed whether this model will feature the brand’s signature Glyph Interface lighting system, which has been a defining element of the Nothing Phone series.

Nothing Phone (3a) Lite – What Else Is Known?

As per the report, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite will be offered in a single configuration with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Similar to previous Nothing smartphones, the device is unlikely to feature a microSD card slot, meaning users will have to rely solely on internal storage.

As of now, most hardware specifications including the chipset, display, and camera setup remain undisclosed. However, the “Lite” branding hints at a toned-down version of the Nothing Phone (3a) aimed at a more affordable price point.

The Nothing Phone (3a) was launched globally at $379 (around Rs. 31,500), while it is currently listed on Amazon for $399 (approx. Rs. 33,000). The Phone (3a) Lite is expected to be priced below the standard Phone (3a), positioning it as the most affordable model in the series so far.

Interestingly, Nothing’s sub-brand CMF already caters to the budget segment. The recently launched CMF Phone 2 Pro is priced at $279 and already occupies the affordable smartphone niche.

FAQs

Q1. Is Nothing launching a Phone (3a) Lite despite earlier statements?

Answer. Yes, despite Carl Pei’s claim that Phone (3) was the last in the series, reports suggest a new budget-friendly model called Phone (3a) Lite is in development.

Q2. What specifications are known about the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite?

Answer. It’s expected to launch with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, likely without a microSD slot. Other specs like chipset and camera are still under wraps.

Q3. How will the Phone (3a) Lite be priced compared to other Nothing models?

Answer. It’s expected to be more affordable than the Phone (3a), which launched at $379, positioning the Lite as the lowest-priced model in the series so far.
