Max is about 33% faster real world to launch multiple apps over time (likely since it can cache more in memory).
https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-...tick-cube/

And has
- 33% more memory
- newer slightly faster processor (1.8Ghz vs 1.7Ghz)
- better graphics processor.
- better networking features
- 3 year new introduction date (Oct 2021 vs 2018)

Plus:
- 1 version newer Amazon FireOS (Fire OS 7 vs. 6)
- 2 versions newer base Android version as well (9 vs. 7.1); i.e. longer term support.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ama..._TV#models


FWIW: If you don't need or want 4K support (too small a screen or sit to far back to really tell the difference; or only have 1080p panels, or have internet bandwidth caps), then I'd consider the regular FireTV stick (3rd gen - 2020 version) as it is newer than the 4K (2018) stick, performs nearly the same (within 10%--having virtually the same specs just less RAM), and sells for $17. If you want/need 4K then splurge for the $35 Max to get that extra perf and longer term updates/support instead of settling for the $25 middle one that's older hardware and base operating system anyway.

The new fire stick 4K max is great, got it for $20 with the QVC deal not too long ago. The only bad part is the ad-ridden Amazon layout but that can be remedied as well.

You need to make sure not to update device if you want remove all bloatware (using the debloat toolbox) and make it run like a android TV device by choosing the custom launcher which blocks automatic updates. You can reprogram the Netflix, Disney plus and Hulu buttons as well as long as you don't have them installed.


The end result should look like this : https://imgur.com/a/Lul7GlI


The updates need to blocked on first boot since in the new firmware Amazon has made the bloat apps protected. This is the adb shell command for clearing the downloaded ota update.

pm clear com.amazon.device.software.ota

Just try it, you don't have to actually order it. If you speak the order to Alexa, it will add it to your cart. you can go to your cart and review the order before actually placing it. The $5 Alexa discount showed up for me.

Thanks a lot. I will try that. I was thinking that it just automatically ordered after you asked. That's cool

Anyone? I need a camera doorbell. This will be my first one.

This camera is 1080p vs 2K /4K. Is it still worth it?

The trade in offer, the $10 credit from the Stamp offer, and any reward redeeming discount cannot be stacked. I have tried all different combinations yesterday and settled with just the trade in offer for the Echo Show 8.
I regret that I did not get the FireTV Max for $25 from HSN a couple months ago.
