    But why would they? They can’t put anything meaningful on a tiny device like this that is powered by HDMI. TV+ is available on Smart TVs. What kind of niche audience would this have?

      They don’t need to limit themselves to HDMI power. They could do like the Chromecast and Fire stick do, and have an external power source for 7.5W or whatever over USB. At that power level, I’m sure Apple could develop or repurpose their existing silicon lineup to be able to make a passively cooled stick design for under $100.

            Ok this made me chuckle out loud.

            The ports are actually kinda small.

    When their subscription numbers taper, I’m sure they’ll find a way to get over it.
