Gaming shootout: Apple TV vs. Amazon Fire TV

“When it comes to gadgets, Apple and Amazon tend to have very different audiences,” Andrew Hayward writes for Macworld. “Consider tablets, for example: Amazon’s entry-level Fire tablet is priced at a stunning $50, while Apple’s cheapest active iPad (2013’s iPad Mini 2) sells for $269. There’s a noticeable gap in quality between the two in many regards, but Amazon’s focus on cheap, usable tech contrasts sharply against Apple’s higher-end polish and performance.”

“The difference is less obvious when it comes to set-top boxes, however,” Hayward writes. “Last fall’s overhauled Apple TV was a big leap for the device, adding apps and games along with the touchpad remote, but Amazon had already mined that territory with the first Fire TV. Right after the Apple TV was released, Amazon refreshed the Fire TV with added processing power, 4K resolution support, and other enhancements. And the price difference isn’t quite so dramatic.”

“Apple doesn’t make its own official Apple TV gamepad, but there are several licensed MFi (Made for iOS) controllers that work well with it—and the recent SteelSeries Nimbus and Hori Horipad Ultimate also have the Apple TV Home button clearly marked. My pick is the Nimbus ($50). which feels great in the hand, is nicely sturdy and responsive, and has a battery pack that you charge with a Lightning cable. It’s a near-console quality device.”

“After spending the last couple weeks with the latest Fire TV, we think there’s healthy competition here,” Hayward writes. “If you’re an Apple fan, should you really grab an Amazon box?”

MacDailyNews Take: Apple TV needs a little but more time – it’s only been on the market fro a few months – to get some of the more sought-after games. Beyond gaming, the only reason we’d consider an Amazon Fire TV box ($99) is to feed our Sony 4K TVs.
