You can't judge chinese prices because they tend to make money by selling high volume due to a large population. That's why everything electronic has gone up in cost. In china they value privacy less and they sell things cheaper.

TCL TV's are sold at a mark-up, their latest tv has an equivalent Chinese model that has more features than the US model and sold for less in China, taking into account taxes, import costs and advertising. it's comparable to the chromecast with google tv which is $50. Nope? The onn 4K box is a pretty powerful box for $20. If you include all distribution, taxes, advertising etc it is probably five dollars.the box itself is only about 80¢ to make. Oculus quest controllers were said to be the highest cost part of the entire headset. Apple TV remote is NOT cheap and has a lot of features in it. Look at the price of an oculus quest controller at $75. Look at the apple TV remote on the website and it is $60 for a replacement. This does not include the millions they spend in R&D They have lowered the price to $129/149 which considering how much costs have gone up in 2022 doesn't seem like they are making anything? The same teardown showed the apple TV sold at-cost back when it was only 32gb of storage and it was $179. Typically iphones the teardown shows some profit built in. There was a teardown of the apple homepod which prices it at $216. How much do you think it costs to make that box? If you include all distribution, taxes, advertising etc it is probably five dollars.the box itself is only about 80¢ to make. Why do you think the onn 4k streaming box is only $20 at walmart? If they would bring that same tv to the US and taking in those costs it still would be cheaper than the US model. You have no idea if it is or isn't that is conjecture by you and you admit it is later in your statement. They get money back by having the streaming services plastered all over the remote. Why do you think the onn 4k streaming box is only $20 at walmart? You think they can actually make it at that price and turn a profit? No. Same way TCL TVs also have little/no markup because the advertising pays from the streaming box and the streaming services on the remote pay for the difference.

Game consoles are generally sold with no/low markup because they make money on subscriptions and games They used a binned variant that removes 1 core but probably clocks higher. And apple has been ahead in mobile processors for years. It may seem expensive but you realize the apple tv has the same processor as the latest ipad mini/iphone with better cooling. When you buy an apple tv on sale it is most likely at a loss. Apple homepod is sold at a loss and the apple TV is sold at-cost because they make money with the apple arcade subscription model. I like things to be off once I press power and the light goes out.Īpple TV doesn't sell EVERYTHING at a markup. I have a shield in my basement that hasn’t been used in at least 3 months and all the apps are still calling home. This is fucked, why does this happen? When my Apple TV is off, my Pi-hole doesn’t show any activity, because it’s OFF, I press power and it’s off, period. This when the app is not active and the shield appears to be off.

It’s not the shields fault, but holy fuck android tv apps call home hundreds of times a day. That being said, I’m a privacy weirdo and my apologies for that. This won’t matter to 99% of people, sometimes I wonder why it does to me resistance is futile. I use the Apple TV for all my streaming services and the Shield for just for Kodi I’m going to get downvoted to holy hell, but these are facts. I love the shield and if I could only have one it would be the shield.
