The New Apple TV is Looking Like a Failure

"[Apple is] becoming a pretty small part of the market," said Roku CEO Anthony Wood in an interview with Business Insider last month. Wood was referring to the market for internet-connected set-top boxes, a space his company competes in alongside Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google, and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN). According to research firm Parks Associates, the four companies combined to sell 94% of the dedicated streaming devices sold last year.
