I&#8217;ll be very surprised if it doesn&#8217;t discount at least one model in time for Father&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Amazon-1744216-58-000377\">58-000377 Battery for Amazon Fire HD 10 Plus T76N2P<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/a3Mm3YX9grqxwuvLPmU8TR.png\" alt=\"The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max on a table\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the most future-proof of the current models(Image credit: Amazon)<br>&gt;&gt;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterymap.co.nz\/detail-Amazon+Kindle-1737255-58-000119\">58-000119 Battery for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10 B00VKIY9RG SR87CV<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-fire-tv-sticks-has-netflix-stopped-supporting-3\">What Fire TV Sticks has Netflix stopped supporting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From June 3, 2025, the first generation versions of the following models will no longer be Netflix-compatible:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fire TV (2014)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire TV Stick (2014)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote (2016)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And to be fair, Netflix has supported these devices for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a new Fire TV Stick, the model I&#8217;d recommend is theFire TV Stick 4K Max. The non-Max version has an official price of $49.99 \/ \u00a359.99 \/ AU$79 while the Max is $59.99 \/ \u00a369.99 \/ AU$119, and for not much more money the Max gives you more storage, a faster processor and better Wi-Fi connectivity too.The Max has been discounted several times this year so far, taking the US price to $39.99 and taking it under \u00a350 in the UK. So if you don&#8217;t mind pausing your Netflix watching for a little while, it&#8217;s probably worth waiting for the next&nbsp;Amazon Fire TV Stick deal&nbsp;to pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve had your Fire TV device for a decade, it could enter the No Netflix Zone today A few weeks ago we reported thatNetflix would stop supporting some older Fire TV devicesfrom June 2025 \u2013 and that&#8217;s coming into force today, 3 June.
