So i have a smart tv that lets me stream and airplay anything i want. Is there any benefit to getting an Apple TV besides the HomeKit stuff? Like do you better quality on the context? i have a mini led ( Neo Qled) Samsung tv, a 2021 mode

We buy TV shows and movies via iTunes. Prefer to buy from the one source.

The user interface is great and consistent no matter what brand of TV you have. Like if you have a Sony TV in the family room and a Samsung one in your office…

Technically, the Apple TV does everything excellently. Upscaling, HDR, audio formats.

I have a high end Sony TV and the UI is ugly and sluggish. Buttons on the remote are not intuitive.

All but NetFlix integrate into the TV app. The up next feature is excellent. Discovery of new content to watch is great.

The Ed Sheeran concert video is an Apple exclusive and brilliant.

Apple’s own content is the highest bit rates, 4K HDR, and Atmos.
