That puts them just half a year behind the competition, and at only twice the price.
The thing is, I like the Apple TV, at least in principle. But I've worked with both that and the Roku, and there are really only two reasons I preferred the Apple TV in principle: Being able to access iTunes content and AirPlay.
The iTunes content stopped being an issue the moment the Apple TV app came out for Roku, so that's not an advantage anymore.
And AirPlay to an Apple TV just doesn't work. I've spent countless hours
It may be just you having issues with Airplay mirroring. I use it with iPhone, iPad and an old Macbook Air and several of my friends use it on theirs as well.

Same here. For me it works fine; especially mirroring from iDevices works very well.

From iOS, it's fine. It's from macOS that it is problematic. For example, try to do AirPlay mirroring and then play a video in Safari, and it chokes.
