Personally I think the last gen 4k is the sweet spot except the touchpad remote is a little wonky for most.

Yet Apple TV 4K 1st gen runs circles around the newest Firestick 4K - which I have tried along with the Google Chromecast with Android TV which is as fast as the newest Firestick 4K - people compared benchmarks.
Both devices were painfully slow.
If you dont mind a super slow device that is riddled with ads all power to you - i stream tons of content and subscribe to multiple streaming services so an extra $100 is well worth the cost of admission esp considering i will get at least 4-5 years of use from that device.
If you want to keep talking about other streaming devices because it's cheaper and/or better because of x. Move on as this deal isn't for you.
It works for majority of people and the device gets updated frequently. It is considered a first class device considering a toddler and an older person can use the UI. At the end of the day, people want things to work and not have to tinker with it.
- $150-160 - you are paying that for a streaming device hahahah!
- My Roku/Firestick/Google Chromecast is just as good - no reason to get this
- Just bought the 1st gen for $100 this isnt worth the extra $50-60!!
When will people understand that you get what you pay for. The Roku/Firestick/Chromecast are not even in the same stratosphere as the Apple TV is terms of speed / streaming quality - it's no contest. If you only stream a few hours a week or dont care about using a laggy, unreliable device stick with the aforementioned devices then stick with those devices
Only device that comes close is the Nvidia Shield Pro and that is nearly the same price (or higher) and has ads and other unsightly UI elements not to mention is not as user friendly as the Apple TV. If you need superior Plex or app side loading get the Shield, everyone else get the Apple TV 4K.
As for those who are saying if the 2nd generation is an upgrade over the 1st. Apple charges $60 for just the remote - this is a $50 difference over the sale price of the 1st gen ($100).
You also get a decently faster browsing experience and here is the important thing - for people with OLED TVs the 2nd generation is the only way to go - helps mitigate the 1st gen's issues with lightened blacks and screen flickering. If you have an OLED this is the only model of Apple TV you should buy.
For 99% of consumers out there, this is the best streaming device bar none. So stop hating because it's an Apple device and actually try it out. If you can sit there and say that using the Apple TV is no different than using a Firestick or a Roku device than you are either blind or blissfully ignorant of the massive speed/UI improvements.
Enjoy

Apple TV or any other streaming platform, they all require a tinkering to some extent. None of them are perfect and require a little bit of technical knowledge to get all video formats to work.

Apple will be happy to charge you another $200 when they announce a new and improved Apple 4K Max with AV1 support. The lack of AV1 support proves one more time that Apple only cares about profits.
BTW, if you care about power and want to use your streaming device for weather calculations/modeling and rocket science, there is Fire TV Cube 2nd Gen, which is very comparable to Nvidia Shield in terms of raw performance. And the cost is around $80 as of now. Again, being a fanboy and loyal to certain brands makes you blind. Good luck!

The entire industry, both written and Youtube reviewers agree, the top two devices are the NVidia Shield and the Apple TV 4K 2021.
With this deal the Shield Pro is roughly $40-50 more than the Apple TV 4K.
Typical Apple hater - I wonder why the marketshare of the streaming segment is 99% full of $20-30 devices lol.
You enjoy your Ford, I'll enjoy my Mercedes. No harm in either
