because they have an agenda to own the entire home entertainment stack. Letting you keep your existing tv is not compatible with this. They don't want customers who are picky about integrating with their existing devices. They want customers that want all apple all the time and love to pay for it.
- schraeds 15y agoApple can basically drive a majority of that TV for $99. What the Apple TV really shows is a complete iOS platform available at that price point. I doubt Sony/Samsung/LG and the like are that efficient.
- tjpick 15y agoI don't understand the downmod I've received. A little white box hanging off the side of a Sony/Samsung/LG tv is not the user experience or brand experience that Apple want to give you. They want their white shiny logo, in the goddamn middle of your 50 inch TV bezel. I'm sure they could use iTunes to push songs onto something that is not an iPod too. They don't want to give you that. They don't want to give you a patched together experience at a low price point. Nothing they do is about that. They want to give you an integrated apple experience.
