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?

Apple TV is excellent. I’m not sure how the latest one compares but my one has a remote which acts like a touchpad for you to scroll and select icons, and then you press the trackpad which is also a button to select the chosen icon.

If the latest iteration works this way, they may not get on with it, as I think older folks struggle with the basics of these new fangled things, even more so if they aren’t tech savvy.
