I have both, sure the Apple TV is beautiful. A lot of options, a lot of storage, user interface wins hands-down. My problem with the Apple TV is that it constantly buffers, and the picture becomes grainy and blurry repeatedly. Swapped out for HDMI 2.1 cables, same problem. Returned the Apple TV thinking it was defective, swapped it out for an exchange, Same issues. Purchased another TV in bedroom, same problem. Extremely frustrating. Never had any issue or any glitch whatsoever with the Roku ultra. As far as picture quality, I don’t see any difference between both. Both offer outstanding picture quality. As far as features, Apple TV, hands-down. For stability, Roku ultra is ROCK SOLID without a doubt.
Just an added note, tho must already aware, the latest Roku Ultra 2024 (for $100) offers Bluetooth, so no more earphones, simplified by plugs, and my Apple earpods work great
I have the Roku Ultra for a long time, but I used it on an old LCD TV. Now I have an LG OLED HDR, and I'm so disappointed with the Roku Ultra. HDR movies look terrible even after adjusting the settings. When I connect my 2018 iPad using the Infuse app, the HDR movies look AMAZING! I'm planning to buy the Apple TV 4K, but now I'm concerned that the quality might still not be good. I might end up using my iPad with the Infuse app.
The Ultra lt supported Dolby Atmos but not vision. It's great that the Ultra has it. It's the biggest selling point imo. Wel that & the rechargeable remote
I have both ATV 4K (2021) and ATV HD and also Roku HD. Compared to ATV HD, the Roku HD is very slow and the UI is quite busy. Nevertheless, both do the job very well on an old HD Sony TV.
@@afroditta6950 Because supporting a product without specifying any single discernible point as to WHY such support is the keystone of Identity Bias hence a fanboy.
There is another thing the roku will beat apple you can screen share both iPhone and Android on roku apple TV won't let you do that I switched to android now I have to get rid of my apple TV
@@VaughnMcGregor My parents have androids and dropped their Roku for the Apple TV 4K. Even without an iPhone its still a better experience than anything else
Roku will need to up their game. Apple TV’s UI alone is way ahead and everything else is so much better. The Roku loses in every single category. Except the price category. My first few Roku boxes became obsolete is just a few years because the apps were no longer update. Apple keeps updating theirs for a much longer time.
I have the Apple TV 4k. Worked well but after 4 years it lost connecting to Wi-Fi. I researched and it looks like Apple doesn't repair them. I'm looking into getting the Roku as a replacement. I did try the onn streaming device from Walmart for $20 and after two weeks it also stopped connecting to wi-fi.
I enjoyed my Apple TV until I upgraded to an LG OLED C2 television and discovered ATV is incompatible with it. If anyone has a solution I would love to hear it. The TV will not recognize the HDMI input.
the stutter is something normal in oled tv. To solve it you have to change truemotion to natural. apple tv is the best friend of oled tv, only apple tv can play the content in 24p in any application, which roku cannot
Apple TV is great 128 gb. Disappointed, the 2023 model, no longer gives you a charging cord for the remote. At this price point, Apple should provide the cord to its customers. So, look out if you’re buying this item. You’ll need to spend an extra $10 and purchase a cord.
Roku is only good if you’re in the USA. If you really want a better experience, you might as well pay for the Apple TV. Roku I had to install a DNS on my router vs Apple TV allows me to do it within the settings. However, the overall experience is a lot better than Roku . Plus I have IPTV so it’s like watching a regular TV again with more features
@@kevs1768 I mainly use Pluto and Hulu but there are so many others. I wouldn’t trust bootlegged providers that want you to send them a message via WhatsApp lol. It’s a waste of Money and TIME.

So ATV was constantly buffering for you, yet you changed the HDMI instead of checking your internet connection :)) Not the brightest are you?
They stated they’ve had zero issues using Roku, apple people are always so judgmental 😂
@@afroditta6950you may want to work on those reading comprehension skills, sport
Huge plus for apple tv apart from anything else, ability to install a VPN
i hate seeing ads on a product i paid for so thats why i despised my roku
You can turn that off just like any other device.
That USBC port looks awfully similar to a Micro USB port on the ROKU remote 🤔
I have a roku tv. To me roku is too limited in what i can do with it. I'll stick to my android boxes. They are wide open.

quality good👍
Isn't Dolby Vision on the Roku Ultra 2022 new? I don't believe older models supported it.

@@gentlerain3245huh? since when should we motivate our personal preferences to random people on the internet?
As an apple user and having tried Roku, it’s not close. Appletv 2022. Can’t speak for non apple users.
Roku streaming devices are good enough for me and less expensive.
I have both devices,Roku better, color ,contrast ,and no any developers, with updates best HDMI for this devices Zeskit Maya to Samsung tv QN90B

Apple TV are best device for compeleting the Apple ecosystem
Roku makes my viewing experience very simplistic and navigating their system is a breeze. The Ultra was my best electronic purchase by far 👌🏾.
In what way is the Ultra better than the Apple TV 4K?
@@braulioribeiro3897 I'm an android guy so I have nothing to do with Apple products. Can't help you on this one.
@@VaughnMcGregor but that’s not an android device. Why not the chrome cast with google tv

? That’s the strangest thing I heard. You may need to get a new HDMI 2.1 cable.
the tv itself, LG has been known to ship dud units with non functional ports.
Can’t even put Stremio on those devices lol
You forgot to mention that the apple device is double the price.
Roku got hacked in 2024 that's a bummer
I have the Apple 4K TV and there is waaay too much stutter when watching sports. If you have an OLED I don’t recommend the Apple 4K TV
the stutter is something normal in oled tv. To solve it you have to change truemotion to natural. apple tv is the best friend of oled tv, only apple tv can play the content in 24p in any application, which roku cannot
"Siri is better when it comes to responsiveness" 😂
This isn’t even a competition, the only thing Roku beats Apple TV is the price😂. I wouldn’t recommend Apple TV for a Non Apple user. 🤷🏾♂️
Can I stream live matches on the appple TV? I hear you can do that on Roku’s own Chanel
