I’ve used the range for years, and it’s still got pride of place in my home — but I also think it’s one of Apple’s disappointing products. And that makes me sad. The recent tvOS 13 update has been a long-awaited push in the right direction for the hardware, yet for this current iteration of the device, I have a feeling it’s too little, too late. Oh no, you’re going … http://ow.ly/hu7650wEPO7
