Apple TV. And I’m willing to fight whoever I need to, in order to defend this position. It’s not even close, my friend! Lol

I've had a Roku for a long time. My last one was a Roku 4K before it completely stopped working after only 8 months. I've never wanted an Apple TV, but ended up getting one on black Friday and other than the remote I love it. If you have an iPhone and are in the Apple ecosystem it's great. Everything connects seamlessly and it's so easy to go back and forth from phone to Apple TV. You can stream from any app that plays videos on your phone. I like it.

Roku - has apps for all the rest

All the services (AppleTV, Prime, Hulu, etc) have apps for the Roku. No reason to get the service-tied devices.

I have an Apple TV and it’s nice being able to mirror my iPad or iPhone screen, and also control the TV from my phone or iPad.

There is a Roku app for iPhones though! Can use as a remote

Used to have an Apple TV, ditched it for a Roku Ultra last year and like it much better.

Has all the same capabilities and apps, but it's cheaper, better interface (in my opinion, I'm sure others would argue the opposite), waaay better remote, and the headphone jack comes in handy more often than you'd think.

Apple TV is good. Pairs with AirPods too. And their content is actually decent.

No Chromecast?

Rather have a remote with the option of using my phone than needing to use a phone to control the tv.

If you want to cast from your phone that might sway your decision (Apple v Android TV). I have an Nvidia Shield TV (which runs Android) and I love it. Unfortunately Nvidia doesn't have a marketing department that knows how to sell anything but graphics cards so I don't think they are very popular.

Amazon 4K fire stick and get Kodi
