Amazon has set specific deadlines for software support and security updates for users with a Fire TV Stick. The company guarantees software security updates for at least four years after the purchase date, with the possibility of extended support beyond that period. Most Fire TV Stick models will receive updates until December 31, 2030, except for the Fire TV Stick 4K (1st Generation), which may see its last update on December 31, 2029.
Amazon has provided a timeline for the supported devices:
– 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)
These deadlines do not render the Fire TV Sticks unusable after the specified dates but serve as a reference for users to consider upgrading to newer models. Amazon emphasizes that the update period is not a guarantee of the device’s longevity. To identify the Fire TV Stick model you own, navigate to Settings > My Fire TV > About on your device to view the device name and generation.
