The setup now has a nice short video telling you about the device. Learned that there is an iPhone remote control app. Works great. Put the firestick tv remote in a drawer hoping not to lose it.

There are several apps that add AirPlay support to Fire TV Stick. I'm using 'AirPlay/DLNA Server'

It works reasonably well, I think, but I have no experience with Apple TV so I don't know if is as robust. I have not tried any of the other apps. I also use it on my Fire TV.
Especially handy for iOS apps that aren't available for Fire TV, but which support AirPlay. Medici TV for example.
I can also turn my TV into a Kindle by mirroring the Kindle for iOS app, with narration or with Speak Screen. Of course you can also mirror Fire HDX or Fire Phone directly to do this sort of thing.
