Apple’s goal is not to shut down Apple TV for Android.
The Apple TV app is already available on Android TV products, so it’s not a stretch to assume that the streaming app will also make its way to Android devices.

ShrimpApplePro’s accuracy is correct, if imperfect, especially when it comes to 6GB of RAM for all iPhone 14 models, not just the Pro.
However, keep in mind that Apple is testing many things and will only release a limited number of them, so consider it a rumor for now, keeping in mind that Apple will only act for its own benefit, more subscribers and more reach.
