Amazon has set specific timelines for software support and security updates for Fire TV Stick devices. The company guarantees software security updates for at least four years from the purchase date of a new device. After this period, Amazon may continue providing updates for as long as possible.
Most of Amazon’s current Fire TV Sticks will receive updates until December 31, 2030, except for the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation), which may receive its final update by December 31, 2029.
The timeline provided by Amazon is 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 clarifies that these timelines do not render the Fire TV Sticks unusable after the specified dates but serve as guidance for when users may want to consider upgrading. The company emphasizes that the update period does not guarantee the lifespan of the device.
