I think the Apple tool is a great idea.

The iPhone has top notch photo and video capabilities and is very portable.
As such, it can easily be a portable tool to abuse children.

Apple wants to stop that.  Go Apple go go go!

I think Apple's TV strategy is very good.
The AppleTV hardware is top notch and their award winning shows are increasing in numbers globally.
The challenge is that TV is very different in each country and AppleTV is Global.  So this is going to be a marathon and not sprint to the finish line.

The AppleTV hardware is not meant to sell like the iPhone, it is there for people who want a great streaming experience and the AppleTV+ software runs on most smart TVs now so...  The key is in the global TV services market.  Not hardware.

In today's global TV landscape, you have to subscribe to multiple streaming services and Apple is well positioned.
My most expensive subscription is YouTubeTV in the US at $65 a month and I mostly watch news and sports; so if Apple can get these 2 things covered then...

Old fashion cable tv is trying to compete with streaming but I think streaming will eventually win.  
We are still in a transition with lots of free ad supported streaming services coming on line and services like YouTube are awesome.
Also lots of streaming deals like T-Mobile paying for Netflix and some cable companies pay for Amazon etc...
It is very complex and will take time but Apple has staying power.

I remember when people said the ApplePay strategy was bad but Apple has quietly turned it into a global winner.
Heck, Steve Balmer even thought that the iPhone strategy was bad.  LOL.

"Ok, you want me to put my life at risk, decrease my productivity, and you're not giving me any logic on why I actually need to do that?" 

I just can't get over this statement.
It is so unbecoming of a manager, let alone an Apple program manager.

"Ok, you want me to put my life at risk, decrease my productivity, and you're not giving me any logic on why I actually need to do that?" 

Many companies would fire people for this statement alone.
Sometimes people need to be reminded that they are not indispensable.

Let's see, I drive to work in my private car, park in my private parking and work in my private air purified office with the option of working from home if I want to.
Oooh, ain't life a bitch!

It is remarkable how Covid-19 isolation can negatively affect some people who are well off much more than some others who are struggling to survive.
