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?

My dad is 75 and has no problem using the Apple TV or his Firestick in his bedroom. He can’t open his email, but somehow managed to load software onto his Firestick for free movies. Dude has his priorities.
