> $300 might be a decent price if you use it for all of the things that it can do

What exactly can it do besides launching streaming apps?

It's also a hub for Apple Home and a Thread border router. And it works with HomePods.

  • It's a barebones barely functioning hub with hardly any functionality (because HomeKit itself is barely more than that).

    Thread border router is nice I guess.

    Integration with HomePods is ... well, if you have HomePods.

    So... No real functionality to justify the price.

    • Oh I'm not saying those things justify the price. I just listed some features apart from streaming apps.

      I guess if you're not really quite deep in the Apple ecosystem, there's probably better options.
