Apple TV has the best experience IMO and supports all major streaming services.

I've been waiting for Apple to update the AppleTV (I gave mine to a deserving friend), so I replaced my aging Roku with a FireTV (for HBO Max). Works great.

It has been a long time since the Apple TV was updated, but it performs well for 4k content so I’m not sure what the average user would want from an upgrade. Personally the only item on my wish list is very niche - allow it to concurrently connect to more than 3 Bluetooth devices, so I can use more sensors with Zwift.

I'd like to see a new revision with an HDMI 2.1 port -- support for 8K60 game streaming (the nVidia 3090s support running at that resolution) and 4K120 support.

Except for the bonkers remote control I agree. I have a few Roku's and one Apple TV HD. I love the picture quality on the AppleTV but the remote is too weird for my wife's liking.

You can program any remote to work with AppleTV.
