I just purchased a brand new Apple TV 4k 2022 for my parents not even 2 weeks ago and at first there was an app store & netflix was there but I turned it on yesterday and suddenly there's no more app store and no netflix instead there's a list of 20 available tv apps like Amazon Prime Video but no Netflix anywhere.


Not sure if it has anything to do with the fact that we activated a Apple TV Free Trial subscription. Either way this is really annoying I'm considering returning the thing.

A television set built in the 1930s (a Marconi EMI model 706 904) was still working as of 2009, which is a little over 70 years, so my answer is 70 years.


There are plenty of 2nd and 3rd generation AppleTVs still working today, so I’d say that Netflix (and Apple for that matter) should support them as long as the hardware is still working.

For-profit companies will support something for as long as it makes money for them to do so. When the cost of maintaining and supporting the software exceeds the money the make from it, they will stop. You may not like Capitalism (it certainly has some huge flaws) but it is the system we have.
