Apple TV for the less tech literates (alien.top)

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?

It is a very simple device, assuming they actually have the use for it.

One thing to keep in mind- just because you're a tech-minded person doesn't mean everyone else is or wants to be. Giving a tach gift that someone really has no use for and doesn't want to learn how to use just puts them in an awkward position where they feel almost obligated to use it even though it provides no benefit to their life. Perhaps a framed family photo would bring them more joy😂

I get that, but they still watch TV/movies. I’m not looking for the techiest solution, just something user friendly so they can watch more of what they want.
