The last time Apple updated its Apple TV box was in late 2017 when it added 4K capabilities. It's due for an update, but it's also still fully capable of keeping up with whatever you throw at it. At $179, it's more expensive than some of the competition, but it also gives you access to Apple's entire entertainment catalog, including its suite of Apple Arcade games.

Amazon's Fire TV Stick looks more like a USB thumb drive than a streaming device. It plugs directly into your TVs HDMI port and includes a remote that has Alexa voice controls built-in. It's inexpensive, at $24.99, but gives you access to the full suite of apps and services you get on the rest of the Fire TV lineup. If you have a 4K TV, you can pick up a Fire TV Stick 4K for $34.99[4].
