At that time, it updated the Fire Stick 4K with specs like an upgraded processor and Wi-Fi 6, while the the Fire Stick 4K Max got support for Wi-Fi 6E and a storage bump up to 16GB. In 2024, Amazon also updated the Fire TV Stick HD in 2024 to bundle in the Alexa voice remote and add support for HDMI-ARC.
