Is There Any Differences between Apple TV and Google Chromecast

Apple TV and Google Chromecast have made the computer unnecessary to binge-watch your favorite TV series or movies. Even though both are streaming devices, there are many differences between the two. If you are confused about what to opt from Apple TV and Chromecast, learn their differences to make an informed decision.

• Apple TV is more like a media center equipped with apps like Netflix, YouTube, etc. and allows you to stream directly from the smart TV, whereas Chromecast is a handy plug-in media streaming unit with a dongle to plug in your TV HDMI port and doesn't have any applications
• If we look at the system, Apple TV does not require any extra software to operate. Chromecast requires other items to operate, such as smartphones or PC to stream content on TV.

• Apple TV has a variety of built-in apps that operate from the same platform that other Apple devices use. In contrast, Chromecast needs certain software installations to stream the content directly on smart TVs.
• Apple TV also has a pocket-size Bluetooth remote that can be used to go into the settings menu, browse the channels, or put the device to sleep.
• Apple TV has airplay as the wireless streaming service. Airplay is a mechanism that streams the content between the airplay-enabled devices. Apple TV users can also download applications from the Google play store to stream the content. For Chromecast users, it doesn't allow content playback on android devices. Instead, users watch Netflix and Youtube like streaming services on the HDTV or AV receiver.
