Apple now requires iPhone users to continue with Apple TV. There are new issues on the Apple TV now, and it is not about its streaming capabilities and service, but it centers on the latest requirement of the Cupertino company to update their Apple ID and terms via an iPhone.
There are free repairs available for all Apple users, but only for eligible devices. Apple is not offering a lot of freebies for customers, but it has free repairs available from the company for devices that were found to have manufacturer, design, or development problems.
