Can’t decide between an Apple TV and an Amazon Fire TV Stick? Choosing a digital media player for your home can be a tough decision, so we’ve compared the two popular devices to help you decide which is right for you.

Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick are two of the most popular names in the increasingly crowded streaming device market, and they offer many similar features. Both devices let you stream video in up to 4K to a compatible TV, as well as having intuitive interfaces with thousands of apps offering movies, games, and other entertainment.

What’s more, both devices offer easy setup and intuitive interfaces, so you can quickly get started watching Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming apps. But even with so many similarities, there are a few differences that set the Apple TV and Fire Stick apart.

The Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV Stick offer similar technical specs, but with compromises when it comes to audio and video formats. Most notably, the Apple TV lacks HDR10+, a more advanced form of HDR that enhances color and contrast in supported media. The Fire Stick, however, lacks Apple's Spatial Audio, which is designed to provide a more immersive, theater-like audio experience.
