I think they are or did also sue Apple Theaters even tho Apple Theaters was operating long before Apple TV.

It’s like the Buc-ees gas station suing an underwear company because they had a squirrel logo (Buc—ees logo is a beaver).

That's probably why they chose Apple as an example in the first place. Apple Computers was allowed to continue using the name because their computer business didn't overlap Apple Corps' music business.
