I am not an Apple person. Many people would go further and describe me as an Apple hater.
I do just prefer the Android ecosystem and that is where all my portable devices sit.
I do however own an Apple TV. I wanted a device with all of the various streaming services on (UK) and even allows me to watch my Google purchased movies via the YouTube app.
I also wanted a streamer that 'just works", fully supports Dolby Vision and has very minimal lip-sync issues. I am that person who owns only a single Apple product and it's an Apple TV.
If I want to be able to access the movies I've purchased through the Apple Store, I need to stick with it.

Lip sync issues?

When the audio is out of sync with the picture.

I've tried a number of different devices, Firesticks, Chromecast and I've always had an issue with something being out of sync.
I run a Yamaha RX-V585 receiver to a Sony XE9300 TV and with the Apple TV box, all apps are in sync.
With the Firestick I seem to remember it was Amazon Prime UHD content that had a lipsync issue. With the Chromecast I'm sure it was Netflix - I'll admit it has been a while since I used either.
Frustrating watching and I'm getting the sound, just milliseconds, before the movement - very off-putting in dialogue heavy sequences.
