The competition in this narrow category isn't especially fierce, as the $179.99 Apple TV 4K refresh from earlier this year is basically the only other option right now.īut while the Fire TV Stick 4K Max is a value on the WiFi 6 front, there are actually some pretty great, recent 4K streamers from the likes of Roku and Google that cost less than what Amazon is offering here. The latest $54.99 streaming stick from the Bezos empire prides itself on, among other things, being the cheapest WiFi 6-compatible streamer on the market (WiFi 6 being a newer and faster version of WiFi that every new device will support eventually). But for better or for worse, the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max takes a slightly different approach.
Amazon has made a killing over the years by offering decent products for cheaper prices than its competitors, like the Echo Buds 2.
