Apple TV+, for instance, has some of the lowest brand affinity scores and recall rates among the streamers, despite being super-premium and connected to one of the most recognizable and admired brands on Earth, with the largest market cap.

I am not nostalgia with old computers. Of course the Mac mini -- even though it has been 'obsoleted' by Apple Silicon -- is still very capable for all my typing and browsing and whatever.
