Also note that you don’t need an AppleTV to get an AppleTV+ subscription. The AppleTV+ app is available on most streaming platforms (Roku, Fire, etc.).
Personally, though, I endorse the AppleTV as a great device. I’ve had my 4k version for several years, and it shows no sign of obsolescence and outperforms my FireTV Max and the WebOS platform on my LG C2. It’s smoother, faster, more stable, and utilizes all the features — UHD, Atmos, etc. — available on each service. (Exception: there are some X-ray/bonus features on certain Prime shows only viewable on a FireTV.) You can count on getting the best available picture and audio quality from each service on an AppleTV, IMO.
