What a low-effort comment. Can you answer the question of how long Apple has made the Apple TV? Based on that history, how much time should we "give" for your prediction to come true? Please be specific.

Youre setting a false premise.

To answer your question: 1st generation: January 9, 2007; 16 years ago

Advertising wasn't the same in 2007, compared to 2023, so counting all of those years is disingenuous.

This is also a company that vigorously lobbies for anti-right-to-repair.

Lastly, youre defending a company that sells things like a $1k monitor stand, with a straight face. There is no justifiable reason for a basic monitor stand to be $1k. None. Zero. No, not even then.

GL with trusting Apple to not shaft its customers. There are many, many, examples to the contrary.
