this feels like a race to the bottom which every industry player except Apple is competing in. I never would have considered an Apple TV just a few years ago, but my Shield is gathering dust ever since I made the switch.

My girlfriend's Apple TV setup makes me jealous every time I use it. I don't even like TV, but Apple TV has the best interface by far, and the touchpad on the remote is perfect for scrubbing through video.

Can you view your own content on an Apple TV? Like with VLC? I don't own much Apple stuff anymore but I'm getting sick of all Android TV options getting so commercialised.

I don't currently subscribe to any streaming service though except Amazon prime (mainly because it's included with the shipping)

You really want to be jealous, have a Mac, and seamlessly be able to use the AppleTV as a monitor

Biggest wins for me when recently switching from a Firestick to an Apple TV is how much faster it’s been to use and the lack of crud.

Seems the Firestick has some heavy subsidises they make up for with activities like this post.

The Firestick/Roku/Chomecast all sell for roughly the same price point. I cannot believe they are all losing money on the physical device. This just strikes me as continuing to enshitify the platform because they can.
