Apple TV dock, 80 ports over Thunderbolt & more - the best April Fools 2022 jokes

Apple generally doesn't participate in April Fools, though it is the anniversary of its founding. However, Siri engineers have hidden a couple of clever jokes within the smart assistant for more enterprising users.

One Siri interaction can be started by simply saying "April Fools," and Siri will offer to give advice for pranks by asking "Tell me an April Fools prank." The pranks offered range from downright silly to an attempt at being wholesome. Ask multiple times to see different results.

Ask "what are you up to?" and Siri will respond "I'm seeing just how gullible people are." This interaction can start a game with Siri by saying "Hey Siri, True or False." The game consists of five statements in which the player chooses which are true or false. The final results can be shared to social media.

Apple isn't the only one participating in April Fools. One popular accessory maker called Twelve South is advertising an Apple TV accessory called "tvTV." This silly 7-inch-square display has a slot for the Apple TV set-top-box.
