WHY GOOGLE DECIDED NOW'S THE TIME TO MOVE ON FROM CHROMECAST

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google is phasing out the Chromecast in favor of the new Google TV streamer after more than a decade. The company decided to focus on a higher-end device because there is too much competition for inexpensive streaming devices. The Google TV steamer infuses Gemini AI smarts into the software and puts smart home controls on the TV screen. It is faster than the often-laggy Chromecast. The device will go on sale in September for $99.
