How long is the expected lifespan of a new AppleTV 4K? I'm doing research on a project for school and there is no official record on this. (alien.top)

Hi everyone,

I’m making a product for a school project that is similar size and similar in materials to an Apple TV 4K. I have to research what materials I will use and what the carbon emissions are etc. This is all provided by Apple, however an expected lifespan is nowhere to be found, and I need that for my product analysis. Was wondering if there is an estimated number for this, or if it's different for everyone?

Thanks in advance :)

at this point it should never wear out, it life span is near forever for tech. 4k, HDMI, Wi-Fi 5, Etherne, the video Files are all going to still be usable and in use 20 years from now. its low power so I doubt heat will ever get to the components. Software support is up to apple.
it’s a luxury item, so most will get upgraded and sold/out of use in 5 years I think.
