I’ve never used one, but I’m looking to get one for my parents as a gift. Personally, I’d go fire stick because I’ve had few issues and it seems simple enough, but they don’t have Prime so it doesn’t make a lot of sense.

They are set up on iPhones (a bit of struggle) and an iPad. They have little/no experience with smart TVs; currently just antenna TV and a chromecast from their computer (also a difficult explanation).

Would an Apple TV be a soft learning curve for them? Any other suggestions?

    I switched my parents from a Roku to an AppleTV. I thought it would be easy - they have Macs and iphones. It was not easy. There were many complaints like “The touch-pad is too sensitive.” “How many cables do we need? Do you want a picture of the cables?”

    A lot of folks will still find it challenging. It’s a great product, and if you set it up they’ll probably be fine. Good luck!
