Hi everyone,

I’m making a product for a school project that is similar size and similar in materials to an Apple TV 4K. I have to research what materials I will use and what the carbon emissions are etc. This is all provided by Apple, however an expected lifespan is nowhere to be found, and I need that for my product analysis. Was wondering if there is an estimated number for this, or if it’s different for everyone?

Thanks in advance :)

    FWIW my 8 yo AppleTV (Gen 4) is still running fine, People complain about Apple’s prices, but they do tend towards higher quality products as they aren’t chasing the lowest price. I have an older ATV (gen 2/3) that I am pretty sure still runs, but that pre-dates the app model so theres a functionality gap that caused us to stop using it.
