Classic Apple. "Don't you dare buy our hardware unless you're ready to go all in and buy all of our ecosystem!". Does the Apple TV have similarly bad UX as an iPad, in that if for some reason it can't install an app it just spins a wheel forever, without any feedback about what's wrong? I had that when trying to install Apple TV+ (yes, they suck at naming things) on an iPad, it was failing because I had no payment method set up, but graciously refused to tell me why. Similarly, Apple TV+ has a fun bug that if you try to download too many things at the same time (say, you're at the airport and want to download a season of a series before a flight), after 2-3 it fails with "download failed" and the only solution is a full restart of the iPad.
For all of those, there were years' old forum posts describing the bugs and the "solutions".
- ASalazarMX 2y agoApple is always pushing customers to buy more Apple hardware, it's not even subtle anymore. Need to register an already bought Mac to your MDM? Have to buy an iPhone to install Apple Configurator for that. Need to register an already bought iPhone/iPad to your MDM? Have to buy a Mac to install Apple Configurator for that.
