Episode 581 - YOLO Updates

Guys, I went traveling this last week for

the

holiday, and I brought my Roku along, and I I think I really want a new Apple TV.

So I should probably just go buy.

Oh, no. Oh, no. What's happened to the Apple TV prices?

One billion dollars.

Yeah,

yeah.

They're so expensive.

They've become gold.

I don't even understand why they're so expensive.

I mean, doesn't Apple make basically everything? Like, obviously, they have to, like, get the supplies, and they're buying the chips from TSMC and stuff like this.

But, like, aren't they, like, putting the RAM into the chip themselves? Why is it so much? And the Apple TV isn't even, like, that incredible of a device.

You watch Netflix on it and Hulu.

Like, it's not like a Mac Mini or something like that.

So it's very confusing that this device is now, what, $250? Yeah.

$250 for the Ethernet version.

I think the other one's a little bit less, but both are overpriced.

Yeah, $199 for the Wi-Fi version.

And the Ethernet version, which has 128 gigs of memory that I guess you use, goes to $149 to $249.

So yeah.

Yeah.

And they had to do this right after the whole Roku thing, you know, because like now, now like, what are you going to do? Because let's say it's, it's Roku or it's a, it's fire TV, uh, or it's a, what's the other one? Google TV, which basically doesn't exist at this point.

It exists on like low end players.

Yeah.
