The Sony OS is based on Android/Google. So if you use Google Play Services you will feel right at home and can access all of that Google content. Apple is a different ecosystem with different Service/Store (iTunes, etc). So this comes down to the Ecosystem you use for your media. If you are an Apple Ecosystem user - you will need to buy an Apple Device (like AppleTV) to gain access to that ecosystem of services and content. Its worth noting that both can work together. The Google Play based content will be accessible right from within the Sony TV OS Menu (so will feel more 'baked in') - the Apple iTunes based content will be accessible by selecting the Apple Device (appletv) connected to an HDMI port on he TV (so will feel more like 'connecting to external device' like bluray, xbox, etc).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An Apple TV will give you more options, but it really depends upon what you are trying to do. If you just want to stream Netflix, Hulu Plus, Sling, etc., there really is no need for an exterior streaming device. However, if you have an extensive collection of purchased content from Apple, then the Apple TV will allow you to access that. Hope that helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not required. Everything Apple TV does this can do with AndoidTV which is in built. You can literally stream even apple content from your laptop/phone using the inbuilt chromecast.
