if i have an iphone, will i be able to stream my whole phone to the chromecast, things like the webbrowser and such or is it just specific apps that supports the chromecast? do i need to buy an apple tv?

You can't cast your iPhone screen to a Chromecast. You can use an Apple TV though.

What's the difference between having a apple tv or a chromcast? Will i be able to mirror my pc to any of them?

You can mirror your PC to both, so I would get the chromecast because it is cheaper and arguably better...

Yes, you can mirror the chrome cast to both, I'd buy the chrome cast regardless, its cheaper than its apple counterpart and its better.

yes honestly its really nice to have when at hotels and well any where they dont exactly have the best tv shows and you can mirror you screen to you tv and its not laggy given your internet isnt bad but you dont need a stupid fast internet either.

The Chromecast is cheaper. But it certainly isn't better by any stretch of the imagination.

An Apple TV can act as a stand alone device. It has a significantly better hardware and running a slimmed down version of iOS, which is already not intensive on Apple's current hardware.

The only ChromeCast enabled device I've seen so far that was ever as good or better was Nvidia's shield TV. I would call the Chromecast itself a bandaid solution and an all around piece of shit.

Having owned both i will say Apple TV is a far more advanced and capable device.

What's navigating tvOS like? Considering getting an Apple TV for airplay and as a bitch basic streamer for my 4K tv.
