Apple TVs make convenient AirPlay streaming targets, not sure how AirPlay support is on smart TVs. Seamless integration with Apple pay and your Apple account, if you have that. You can use your iPhone (or iPad?) as an input device for the Apple TV. Very handy for typing in passwords or whatever. Would not apply to you obviously. Can also pair a BT keyboard with the AppleTV for the same purposes, FWIW. IIRC Apple TVs don't collect the insane amounts of information that smart TVs collect. Apple TVs might have better interfaces as well, though that's obviously subjective. All the smart TV interfaces I've used have been pretty trash. But maybe they're better now, I dunno.
