the difference between a 4k fire tv and an apple tv is like having a 10-yr-old saab versus a lexus

the number of times i've had to force close/restart a fire tv is…well, more than i can count. netflix has been broken on it for as long as amazon's had streaming devices (they seemingly don't want it to work well). the number of ads on the fire homepage is obscene. the slowness/lag for the menu ui is a huge drag.

none of these problems have showed up for me on the apple tv.

i would not recommend it to those who can't really afford it, but if you have the disposable income, it really does make your streaming tv watching life easier…

…which i realize is the most obscene and privileged sentence i've ever written

If you are into the Apple ecosystem it is the most seamless out there. This comes with a premium for sure which you can argue isn't worth it.

However, for people that have the means and want an effortless entire system for their grandparents, parents, and non tech savvy spouses, you can't beat it. Everything just works.

I have yet to see anything across all android devices that comes close.

Personally, I have a 2017 nvidia shield, but I would get this Apple TV for anyone else in my life without question since it will make my life easier when they have any tech issue.

I think the only reason you can use to defend the price is the simplicity caused be being a perfect fit in the ecosystem.

I used to have iPhones for my wife and I, fire sticks on the TVs and fire tablets for the kids. The wife could never figure out how to work the kids tablets on road trips and it was challenging using the fire stick (yes, I realize they are pretty easy to use). Replaced them all with iPads and Apple TV's and don't hear one gripe from the wife about how she can't "fix" any of them. Worth every penny!!

It's funny how people's experiences all differ so much between devices. But here's mine just to add to the mix….
Fire tv (gen 2) worked great, used it with kodi and all that, only upgraded for more current 4K offerings
2nd gen shield tv, worked great, and still use it to this day. Fast, responsive, only occasional issues
4K fire tv stick (latest gen) absolute garbage. Glitchy, slow, apps crash all the time, can't hardly use it
Latest Apple TV, given to me as a gift, works pretty well, newer remote is better than before, but had serious issues on initial setup that required a factory reset and a second go around of setup to fix. Seems to work better now.
So with that said, everyone seems to have a device the prefer, but if it were me I'd probably lean towards the latest nvidia shield pro and call it a day. To each their own I guess.

My Fire 4k Stick needs to be restarted once every 2-3 weeks. It's not horrible, considering it was $25 when I bought it. But it's annoying.

How close is a new model on the horizon? They rarely discount these more than $10-15 from what I've seen in the past.
Not anytime soon. They just updated the Apple TV 4K this year. And typically it takes Apple years to update it.

The thing I'll say is that the Apple TV is better than the fire TV. Even the high end fire TV is weak. BUT the Apple TV is sputtering. I'm not surprised there are these refurbs. I've had to restart this things dozens of times. The toss to TV from my devices barely works. And it buffers all the time. The apple remote is way better, but again, still not as good as a simple directional remote.

I hate the Apple TV remote, so hard to keep in your hand without slipping out. Put some grooves on the sides already!

What can you save to this that you would need extra GB's? (32gb vs 64gb)

I truly don't understand the price of Apple TVs. This isn't hate at all. I'll accept the thumbs down that are coming, but given all the products that are out there, I just don't get it. I'm willing to listen to reasons why too.
It's worth it if you don't pay for cable. If you stream a lot, you're really going to want something fast and reliable. Compared to cable, you end up spending less even with multiple Apple TVs + streaming services

There may be some people who probably won't care about the performance difference, but what I think makes AppleTV shine, is the consistency.
