    This might be a stupid question; not sure why this is on my homepage.

    Is an Apple TV device interchangeable with a fire stick or Roku essentially? In terms of function

      It works about the same as a Roku Ultra, but more powerful, has a lot more built in storage, and is generally better for 4k TV. I currently use Roku for all my TVs but when I finally get a 4k Oled I plan on getting a Apple TV for it.

      For this price though it is not worth it as you can get a Gen 3 for just $10 more as long as you don’t care about ethernet or people can just wait for the 4th gen which is supposed to be coming out early 2024 and rumors are that they are hoping to get the price down to at least $100 for the base model.
