Amazon has set a timeline for software support and security updates for Fire TV Stick users. The company will provide software security updates for at least four years from the purchase date of the device. Additionally, Amazon may extend the support beyond the initial four years based on feasibility.
Most Fire TV Stick models will receive software updates until December 31, 2030. However, the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation) could see its final update on December 31, 2029.
Amazon has specified the support timeline for various Fire TV Stick models:
– 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 the support deadlines do not render the Fire TV Sticks unusable after the specified dates. The timeline serves as a reference point for users to consider upgrading to newer devices when necessary.
It is important to note that the support period does not guarantee the longevity of the device. To determine the Fire TV Stick model you own, navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > About on your device for detailed information.
