> Can Apple please just relent and let Roku have an iTunes app?

They did. An app will be coming later this year for Roku, Amazon Fire TV and a bunch of smart TV platforms.

It seems like there is a roku app you can install on your iOS devices that let you stream to a roku player on your TV. Is this different?

How about Chromecast compatibility?

[madeofpalk → rch]

My guess is that Apple is trying to get their stores in front of as many eyes as possible. Because Chromecast is just a receiving platform, and you can't buy any content from it directly, they're not interested in it.

I miss being able to cast things to my Fire Stick. Like a lot.

Apple's working with a bunch of TV makers to add AirPlay 2 support to their TVs

I prefer having my own portable device that I can plug into any display.
