To recap
The 2021 update of this set-top box delivers what it sets out to do - packaging streaming services and Apple’s own services into one place - but against the competition it feels pricey. But that’s ultimately because - through Apple Fitness+ and Apple Arcade - it does more than just letting you access streaming content services.
