AppleTV doesn’t require a person to have an iPhone. So there’s that. iPhone not needed

Even so. AppleTV has not been a huge success. The % of non iPhone users who have AppleTV is probably in single digits or lower.

If they did assume all AppleTV users had iPhone, it’s a pretty good time to not give a fuck about such a small number of users.

I just went through this. We got free apple tv by having T-Mobile. My TV has the apple tv app. We had apple laptops, but we spent all afternoon trying to find a way to set up an account and get it on the TV. The solution we eventually found was to charge up an old broken iphone.

It definitely says nothing about its popularity. What does say something about it is that no one I've ever met with a touchscreen laptop has ever said anything positive about the touchscreen.

Giving its $499 price tag for education and $599 regular retail, I don’t think they’re gonna be nice.

I own a base model M1 Mini and the first thing I wanted to try and do was upgrade my base storage. It was clear online that it just wasn’t possible. So, best thing I did was buy an external hard drive and plus my stuff goes to the cloud anyways. Only thing that gets in the way are applications
