It was a busy month for Cord Cutters News video, and we have the clips to prove it. In case you missed it, we highlighted some of the topics we focused on during the month of June, 2021. It was a month of new hardware at the extreme ends of the pricing spectrum — from the Apple TV 4K to Walmart’s onn. FHD Streaming Stick. And we also explored the reasons for (and against) investing in a high-end streaming device.
If you want to catch up on our recent topical deep dives, you’ve come to the right post.

Oh, and it’s packing a brand-new remote control — something Apple TV users have been clamoring for, so we wanted to see if the new input device could improve the streaming experience.
