Amazon has set a timeline for software support and security updates for Fire TV Stick users. The company guarantees software security updates for at least four years from the purchase date, with the possibility of extending support beyond that. Most Fire TV Stick models will receive updates until December 31, 2030, except for the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation), which might see its last update on December 31, 2029.
The specific end-of-support dates for various Fire TV Stick models are as follows:
– Fire TV Stick 4K Select
– Fire TV Stick 4K Plus
– Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2nd Generation)
– Fire TV Stick 4K (2nd Generation)
– Fire TV Stick Lite
– Fire TV Stick (3rd Generation)
– Fire TV Stick HD (2nd Generation)
– Fire TV Stick HD (1st Generation)
– Fire TV Stick 4K Max (1st Generation)
– Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation)
– Fire TV Cube (3rd Generation)
Amazon emphasizes that reaching these dates does not render the Fire TV Sticks useless, but it serves as a guideline for users to consider upgrading. The company clarifies that the update period is not a guarantee of the device’s longevity.
