Would you have guessed that Amazon would dominate this category? In the back of my head I had a feeling - I mean, it’s to be expected. Electronics from Amazon are of pretty decent quality while not being too overbearing on price.
I remeber a while back, I bought a Fire Stick off Amazon. I was super impressed when I tore open the box at home and plugged it in for the first time - it had me already logged in to my Amazon account - I just had to throw my password in. I found that very impressive. That’s a level that Apple isn’t even on.
