I have been using TV that was few years old and was mostly dependent on the first-generation Chromecast device for my streaming requirements. However, I was exploring two key streaming products available in the market and wanted to list both pros & cons for those products. Following are my reasons about advantages and disadvantages for both products.
- Apple 4K TV Box - Too expensive and high quality: The major advantage of Apple’s 4K TV box was the picture quality and its deep integration with iOS ecosystem & its devices. The disadvantage of the product was its cost, the price of the product was too expensive that we could offer couple of android boxes for a single Apple 4K TV.
- Android Box – Affordable and lack of iOS native support: The major advantage for opting to the Android box was its cost, the price of the product is so affordable that would meet all the streaming requirements and might break even in a year with promised software updates for next few years. The little bit of disadvantage about the android box was the native support for iOS devices and me owning lot of iOS devices ranging from iPhone, iPads, and Macs it was a huge bummer.
The above comparison of both streaming devices was based on my day to data requirements and experience in using first generation Chromecast for past several years. To read more about my opinion or suggestions, please feel free to check out the articles published in “G R Team Sites”
