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
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 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!!

As a fellow Apple cult member, I think you're confusing the FireTV 4K with another model because mine has locked up the same number of times as my Apple TV. Older FireTV units lock up more often because of Amazon is stingy with RAM.

I have never had any issues with any of my fire tv devices. I do have an apple tv 4k but don't care for it over fire tv. Does the new apple tv remote control the tv power and volume?

It seems like such waste of money to get this for only 2 apps (that I use most frequently), but it's either this or go the Chromecast route. Nothing wrong with Chromecast... just rather not have to use my phone to scroll through and stuff.
I personally find the Apple TV easier and works with all providers be it Google, Amazon, etc.
I have multiple Apple TV 4K's and love how I can change apps on 1 and it changes all of them at the same time, since they are all logged into the same iTunes account. I can switch to different iTunes accounts by holding down the TV button, comes in handy when I'm doing free subs to Apple TV+. For most streaming apps HBOMax, Starz, and many more I can start watching a show and if I don't finish it I can resume right where I left off without having to reload the app. Switching apps just like iPhone will by double clicking the TV button. In short I'd buy from Walmart or somewhere to try out, if you won't like it make it a easy return. The Apple TV is a great item but may not be for everyone. I purchased most of mine when DirectvNow was having buy service get device free.

That's not for the newest 4K version. Go to tech specs and you'll see that's the one with the A8 chip, not A12
