In all fairness, Apple TV 2nd generation is nearly 5 years old product with A4 processor and 256MB RAM. Apple updated its OS for 4 years, which I think is more than reasonable.
Fair? No! It's 4.5 years since first release (Sept 1, 2010) and people who bought one prior to March 7, 2012 (just over 3 years) are now SOL.
Planned obsolescence is increasing with ever shorter life cycles. It's a waste of money, resources and adding to our garbage dumps.
If you think 3 years depreciation of any product is reasonable, you obviously have too much disposable income and not enough sense.
I'm increasingly less inclined to buy newer technology if I'm forced to buy something new every 3 years or less or loose functionality.
I can still play my 25+ year old CDs in my roughly 15 year old CD player.
My 11 year old iPod still functions well, thanks to a new battery. It fulfills its function. Why should I be forced to spend money so the "new" device can show me more ads?
Convoluted thinking.
Convoluted market.
Manipulated consumer!
