Amazon.com
- Roku Streaming Stick+ $40, Ultra $80 (expired)
Can be controlled by an Alexa and Google Assistant smart speakers
AirPlay compatibility
The more expensive Ultra has a faster processor, which means launching apps, starting streaming videos, and navigating menus will be quicker.
It also has an Ethernet port for a faster and more reliable connection than Wifi.
Roku apps had been slow to update compared to Android TV, but that has changed.
With the recent release of the HBOMax app on Roku and others, Roku is now our pick for having the most streaming apps available.
Plus, if someone has an iPad or iPhone, the AirPlay feature gives more control over their Roku.
Cast is also available, to play videos from Android phones, Chromebooks, and laptops with the Chrome browser.
These Roku devices are the only non-Apple players that have the Apple TV+ app, so people who got a 1-year Apple TV+ subscription free with their purchase of an iPhone can watch Apple TV+ on their TV.
