Difference between Apple 4K TV vs. Amazon Fire 4K TV!!!

 

Amazon on Tuesday announced a new Fire TV set-top streaming device with support for the high-quality 4K and HDR formats.
It competes directly with the new Apple TV, also announced this month, which also supports 4K and HDR for the first time.

With that said, there are some notable technical differences between these streaming devices that will help you decide which one is best for you.

Take a look:
First, let's talk about the similarities.
The Apple TV 4K and the new Amazon Fire TV with 4K share some similar features. Both devices support:
•  Up to 2160p resolution
•  Dual-band 802.11 WiFi
•  The latest HDMI standard
•  Hundreds of thousands of apps from services like Netflix, HBO, and others
•  Their own remote controls, which let you navigate the on-screen experience using buttons or your voice leveraging Siri on the Apple TV, and Alexa on the Fire TV

Interface/Feel :

The Apple TV 4K tv OS (operating system) is very user-friendly, with plenty of visuals to draw you in. It also organises apps quite well, with categories like Productivity, Music and Video streaming all on offer whereas; The Amazon Fire TV has great interface, but it has one Usability Flaw: some content costs extra . While Amazon Prime members have plenty to watch (including Amazon exclusives like ‘The Grand Tour’ and ‘The Man in the High Castle’), you’ll have to spend out extra bucks for some films. And it’s not immediately clear at first which is Frustrating.

Apps :
A streaming player is no good if you can't watch your favourite content on it. The apps that matter to viewers vary widely by region.

In Amazon's Fire TV, you can download and use any app that supports the Fire TV Stick, which is officially available in India. That includes Netflix, Hotstar, Eros Now, Sony Liv, and Voot, among others. Amazon's own Prime Video is a big plus point too, though Google Play is missing.

Coming to Apple TV 4K it has exclusivity on its own content: iTunes and Apple Music. Beyond that, you can watch content from any third-party apps that have dedicated Apple TV apps: Netflix, Hotstar, Eros Now, Sony Liv, and ALT Balaji. Amazon Prime Video is coming later in the year.

HDR :

Out of the two, only one Amazon Fire TV doesn’t have support for HDR (high dynamic range) displays, though the standards supported vary from device to device. The Apple 4K TV supports the function of Dolby Vision and open HDR10 standards, while the Amazon is expected to announce its two new devices in Fire TV line-up this year, both of which have been built to bring HDR support. Since Amazon Video is available in both Dolby Vision and HDR10, you can expect them to support both standards.

Audio Support :
The Apple TV supports sound systems up to Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround. And the more affordable Amazon Fire TV with 4K actually goes a step further and supports Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround, as well as Dolby Atmos, which Dolby pushes as its most immersive audio system. The Apple TV 4K will get Dolby Atmos support at some point in the future, but it won't be available at launch.

Main Specifications :

Last but not least the most important factor that we all Consumers consider along with quality and other factors is…..??

Yeah, of course it's Price!

Price :

The key differentiator here is price:-
The new Amazon Fire TV with 4K costs $69, while the new Apple TV 4K costs $179 for 32GB of storage, and $199 for 64GB of storage.
