Original: Amazon’s new Fire TV Stick 4K ditches Android & sideloading for $59.99
Amazon has launched a new Fire TV Stick 4K priced at $59.99, and the device moves away from Android, ending support for sideloading apps. The shift means users will be limited to the built-in Fire TV software ecosystem rather than installing outside software. Coverage from tech outlets is highlighting the trade-off between the new hardware and the loss of flexibility that sideloading offered Fire TV users.
Why now: A popular streaming device dropping Android and sideloading represents a significant limitation for users, prompting discussion.
