I have the 2020 Sony X90H tv with built-in chromecast and Dolby vision and Atmos support. The other Apple device I have is the original HomePod. Is there any additional use case that I can get out of this Apple TV device?

This is showing it's age, it stutters a lot now.
THIS model, the 2021 model Apple TV box? It's barely been out a year (May 2021). And as has been mentioned it has far more CPU power and RAM than most other streaming sticks/boxes.

I have both this and the previous (2017) model and even on those I don't notice ´stuttering.´

It's much more likely you either have effects of slow internet connection or over-compression by your streaming service. Most 4K streaming really suffers due to this especially in fast action scenes in movies or sports. Apple TV as a streaming source (both the service and the box) are considered about as good as you can get for streaming quality. And I have no reason to doubt that from my experience. That said, I still like to buy UHD discs for movies.

Quote from nullstring :
The processor this device contains is an Apple A14. This is an iPhone 12 processor, and it's leaps and bounds more powerful than the ones you find in the chromecast or firestick options.

If you look like high end streaming boxes, you'll be considering the Nvidia Shield which comes in at $180. In comparison, the Apple TV looks quite competitive.
To be clear for others, the current Apple TV 4K actually uses an Apple A12 processor (originally used in the iPhone XS).

Yes this very model that has 4 year old chip. I don't think you use YouTube much on it for example or Asphalt 8.

Quote from BoboBrazil :
I bought one of these on prime day and ended up returning it. It's not dramatically better than the chromecast and it's really a pain in the ass to set up if you don't use iPhones. It made me download itunes on my pc simply to be able to download any apps onto the apple tv and jump through a bunch of hoops just to use it.
You must've chosen something funky in the setup, because iTunes is not a requirement for using the device in any way, shape, or form.

I'm wondering the same thing. Or a Chromecast with Google TV device for $49.

I find Apple TV works with everything you need. Amazon Prime, YouTube (for Google content), HBOMax, etc. Apple doesn't have the issues of anything now working like Amazon fire stick not working with YouTube!

If you don't have an iphone or other apple device and never used it on the apple store before it makes you log in to itunes to allow purchases even for free apps. I tried everything else and nothing worked.

Doesn't matter, these units are blazing fast and great. Amazing deal.
It matters to many who would rather make an informed decision and purchase this fully knowing that a new version is coming out soon.

I had a Pixel 3 and had never used the Apple App store in my life when I got my AppleTV--I just had to create and fully verify an Apple ID and have it set up with all the info for purchases (similar to setting up an Amazon account for a Fire Stick). I definitely never had to install iTunes on my PC to install apps to the device.

**EDIT**I had used an Apple Music trial in the past, so perhaps that is what let me in with just my Apple ID without a problem.

So if I'm on a desktop/laptop watching Youtube can I "cast" it to the AppleTV or do I have to grab the remote and find it?

I like the idea of the AppleTV since it appears to be really fast and smooth and even the latest Chromecast is laggy and crashy.
