Apple TV: Whence the profits?
- especkman 19y agoI've blogged about this. What most of these commentaries seem to miss is that the material cost of the AppleTV is only going to drop since the hardware requirements aren't going to change much. Look at the bill of materials. There are $100 tied up in CPU, Chipset GPU & network chip. How much will that cost in 18 months?
- Sam_Odio 19y agoThis is a surprising post, I've always heard that Apple TV makes its money of the devices, not the iTunes downloads. "The iPod makes money. The iTunes Music Store doesn't," http://news.com.com/Will+iTunes+make+Apple+shine/2100-1041_3-5092559.html http://news.com.com/Will+iTunes+make+Apple+shine/2100-1041_3-5092559.html Of course that was a few years ago... maybe things have changed...
