Moreover, these changes mean Apple TV users who have Macs — but no personal iOS devices — are also left in the lurch.Most of the Apple TV can be used without needing access to other Apple hardware.Rather than allowing users to read and accept the new terms on the Apple TV on television itself, the box says you must use an iOS device to do it.In addition to alienating people who possess no other Apple devices at all, the minimum OS requirement means that someone with a new Apple TV but an old-generation iPad, for example, is also left stranded.Based on these barriers, the Apple TV cannot be considered to be a standalone device anymore, even though a non-zero percentage of people have used it that way for many years up to now."
