What’s the benefit of Apple TV? (alien.top)

I’ve seen a few posts here and there raving about the Apple TV box but it’s always occurred to me what’s so special about it?

A lot of my products are Apple and I’m starting to try and build a smart home (nothing crazy) but I have Sonos, Nest etc and I’m wondering what an Apple TV can offer me. I’ve read a few blogs but nothing seems to scream out at me.

Smart TV’s seem to have a lot of streaming apps and I gather I can AirPlay to it. One thing that I did find interesting though, I saw someone comment earlier that you can just chuck your AirPods on and it seemlessly connects (albeit very rare I’d need to actually do this, like it was suggested if the other half wanted to go to sleep I could carry on and watch tv with my AirPods).

What are the other worthwhile benefits?

I have had one since 2017. Still works like brand new.

Bought 2019 model used in 2022 for my bedroom tv. No issues.

I also take 1 apple tv with me in vacations lol. You can't make me use other devices lol.

Everyone else has mentioned other positives. I would never go back to any roku, firestick or Google one.
