Is the Apple TV better than the Amazon Fire Stick?

[iMore Question]

In your humble opinions, do you think the Apple TV is better than the Amazon Fire Stick? What are the key differences?

Welcome to iMore! I've never used an Amazon Fire stick so I don't have much of a basis for comparison. That being said, AppleTV is the way to go if you have multiple Apple devices. AirPlay is very convenient and let's you stream content that isn't available through AppleTV apps. The new AppleTV has introduced a revamped OS and an App Store that lets you install not only streaming apps but games and other productivity apps not usually available on streaming devices.
In my humble opinion, AppleTV has a lot to offer that Amazon's stick doesn't.

The TV is probably better than the Amazon Fire Stick for those who

1. Have invested in the Apple ecosystem
2. For those who find it more appealing.
3. For those who dislike Amazon
4. For those who are upgrading from a previous generation TV

I completely agree except, if I'm being honest, I'm almost as huge an Amazon fan as I am Apple fan. I've had my Prime membership for ten years (almost since launch). I'm okay with Apple and Amazon not getting along; they're both amazing companies but for different reasons.

I have the Fire TV box and can say that installing Kodi is very easy. Kodi can play everything
