As you may or may not know already, Amazon is planning to turn this year’s biggest shopping day into a full week of holiday savings, with a special Black Friday event kicking off this Friday, November 17, and running until November 24, after which a separate Cyber Monday sale will arrive and last from November 25 through November 27.
How do we know that? Well, you’ll just have to trust us when we tell you that there’s no way Amazon will sell the latest editions of the Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max at higher than $25 and $20 discounts respectively anytime soon.
The pricier variant naturally holds a few key advantages over its dirt-cheap sibling, including Wi-Fi 6E support for smoother video streaming, an “enhanced” Alexa voice remote with more buttons and smarter controls, some extra storage space allowing you to install loads more apps and games, and a so-called “Ambient Experience” that displays beautiful photographs and artwork on your TV when you’re not actually watching any content.
At their core, of course, the 2023-released Fire TV Stick 4K and Fire TV Stick 4K Max are essentially identical (and identically powerful), supporting everything from 4K Ultra HD video technology to Dolby Atmos audio at some remarkably low prices at the time of this writing.
