Got the 32gb for $99
I have a few of the previous generations (4k first gen 2017) in 64gb and never needed the extra space.
I've used Roku, firetstick, builtin sony and samsung streamers. Apple TV is my favorite by far. You can use your regular tv remote to control apple tv. If you have an iphone it will auto pause tv when you get a call i you want.
4K (first generation)
At an Apple Special Event on September 12, 2017, Apple announced the Apple TV 4K which supports 2160p output, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and includes a faster Apple A10X Fusion chip supporting HEVC hardware decoding. Dolby Atmos support was added in tvOS 12. Following the announcement of the new models, the 64 GB version of the Apple TV HD was discontinued. Externally it is similar to the 4th generation model, with the only differences being the addition of vents on the base, the removal of the USB-C port, and the addition of a tactile white ring around the Menu button on the included Siri Remote.
4K (second generation)
On April 20, 2021, Apple announced an updated Apple TV 4K with the A12 Bionic chip, support for high frame rate HDR, HDMI 2.1, and Wi-Fi 6. Its HDMI port supports ARC and eARC, which allows other sources plugged into the television to output audio through Apple TV, including to AirPlay speakers like HomePod. It also has the ability to pair with the ambient light sensor on iPhones with Face ID to optimize its color output, a feature that was also extended to older Apple TVs with tvOS 14.5. AirPlay supports high frame rate HDR playback, allowing videos shot on the iPhone 12 Pro in Dolby Vision 4K 60fps to be mirrored in full resolution. Following the announcement, the previous Apple TV 4K with an A10X Fusion chip was discontinued.
The model also comes with a thicker redesigned Siri Remote with a circular touchpad with navigational buttons, as well as power and mute buttons. The remote does not include an accelerometer and gyroscope, which were present in the previous Siri Remote, making it incompatible with some games. The remote is compatible with previous generation tvOS-based Apple TVs and ships with an updated SKU of the Apple TV HD.
4K (third generation)
On October 18, 2022, Apple announced an updated Apple TV 4K with the A15 Bionic chip, reduced weight and dimensions, and support for HDR10+. It comes in two configurations, a Wi-Fi-only model with 64 GB of storage, and a higher-priced 128GB model with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and a Thread radio. The included Siri Remote charges via USB-C instead of Lightning.
I still use my AppleTV from 2018 and it's faster than my 2021 Firestick. You'll get 6 years out of this so it's worth 3 firesticks plus you won't get bombarded by amazon and can do screen mirroring if you have an iphone. what would you rather have?
What do the subtitles look like on Hiive vs Roku and Fire?
They use the Apple subtitles so I set them to yellow with a black border and they look freaking amazing!
Hidive on Roku looked like old school 80's closed captioning. The remote has a learning curve but once I got it down I'm totally in love with the Apple TV right now. I was able to get caught up on some eps now that I have functioning apps.
ETA there's a little bug with the Hidive app right now, when you click to watch a show it looks like it's buffering but it's not, just press play a second time and it will start working. At first I was totally pissed that it wasn't working so I reached out to HD customer service and let me know what was going on. You can also use the remote to do a jump backwards and forward unlike the Roku.

Any chance you could post a screenshot of the hidive subs? I have 4k max and while none of the subs are as bad as the Roku, the Hidive subs are somewhat too thin and hard to read

I have constant issues with the Crunchyroll and HiDive app on my Roku Ultra, on a 4K TV. Going to grab on of these and see if it's better.
It seems many anime fans don't actually run 4K TVs as I get a gaggle of "Mine is fine" when I report complaints only to have CR come back and says "Yeah it's a problem with the Ultra when using a 4K TV"
If you're willing to pay for this I'd skip and go for the Nvidia shield.
I have the 2021 64GB Apple TV, and I preordered the new 128GB model with a faster processor. That being said, you can get a Fire Stick Max with Wifi 6 for $35 if you have Prime. If Amazon's ads don't bother you, there is not a significant difference in performance, but you can buy three Fire Stick Maxes for the price of one Apple TV 2021. The Fire Stick Max is an underrated device.

64GB is $129, but removes Ethernet port for wifi only connections.
128GB model is $149 and retains the ethernet port
