For me, being apolitical implies someone is full aware of the political developments, but chooses not to take sides or form well thought views. The people I mentioned are more apathetic, as in they don't bother at all being updated even with the slightest news.
I think many people call themselves apolitical that more accurately should fall into the apathetic/ignorant category.
Truly apolitical people are pretty uncommon - although you may not side with a particular party consistently, it’s hard to keep informed of facts and events without forming any opinion
