The Apple TV 4K comes with more onboard storage (32GB or 64GB) compared to the Fire TV with 4K, which only has 8GB of space.

Both devices support: Up to 2160p resolution, Dual-band 802.11 WiFi, The latest HDMI standard, Hundreds of thousands of apps from services like Netflix, HBO, and others and Their own remote controls, which let you navigate the on-screen experience using buttons or your voice leveraging Siri on the Apple TV, and Alexa on the Fire TV.

The Apple TV supports sound systems up to Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround. The more affordable Amazon Fire TV with 4K actually goes a step further and supports Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround, as well as Dolby Atmos, which Dolby pushes as its most immersive audio system. The Apple TV 4K will get Dolby Atmos support later this year.

This might be a deciding factor for many people, especially those who already own HDR-capable TVs. The Apple TV 4K supports both HDR 10 and Dolby Vision HDR standards, whereas the Amazon Fire TV with 4K only supports the HDR 10 standard.

Here's the difference: Most current HDR-capable TVs support HDR 10, but on paper, Dolby Vision supports a brighter and more color-rich experience. LG and Vizio most notably support Dolby Vision, so if you have one of those TVs, the Apple TV 4K might be your only option to get the best experience possible.

If you're lucky enough to have Gigabit Ethernet in your home, the Apple TV 4K supports those speeds right out of the box. The Amazon Fire TV with 4K, on the other hand, only supports Gigabit Ethernet with an Ethernet adapter; Amazon sells a $15 adapter that works with the Fire TV with 4K.
