Apple made a huge error not buying Eero and making AppleTV and HomePod devices into zero effort mesh points. They got out of the router business just a couple years too early since it was fully commoditized at the time, but the mesh revolution was just around the corner with a whole new market to conqueror.
Letting Amazon get Eero is one of the few consumer facing misses Apple has made in the last few years (the keyboard debacle being the other)
- yarcob 6y agoTBH I think mesh routers are overhyped garbage. They don't work well, and pollute the spectrum, and are a really poor substitute for cables. The only reason why they sell well is because people will buy anything as long as they don't need to lay cables.
- Nevermark 6y agoSounds like you would have appreciated a reliable mesh from Apple. I certainly would.
