You thoroughly missed my point. Apple could be innovating in so many ways if they had control of the router (home VPN, control nexus for smart home devices), an area which they have an advantage (trust in updates, security, privacy). I think ceding that ground to less trustworthy companies in TP-Link, Eero, and Ubiquiti is dumb.
>As for Apple TVs, I own five.
Then you have a greater incentive to defend a substandard product so you don't feel foolish.
- FredPret 6y agoApple TV is substandard? Maybe you don’t like it or prefer something else, but “substandard”? I do hope they branch into routers though, not sure there’s a lot of money to be made there, but would be nice to see as a consumer. Maybe if they sell an ultra-premium, very secure router.
- pseudalopex 6y agoApple TV is a control nexus for smart home devices if your smart home devices use HomeKit.
- ectospheno 6y agoA TP-Link EAP225v3 is a solid access point. It cost $60. Apple left the space because there is no money in it.
