That's my question. I just ordered with the code, currently using a Gen 1 FireTV Cube. I hope it's a decent upgrade.

Seems like a "meh" upgrade tbh. Some minor things like better bluetooth/speakers/wifi/controller but nothing that's like jumping from 1080p to 4K.

Gen1 to Gen2 was very noticeable speed/performance wise.

More than 3x speed according to this article:

https://www.aftvnews.com/fire-tv-...tick-cube/

Gen2 to Gen3 is supposed to be a 20% speed boost.

Easy recommendation for Gen1 to Gen3, up to you to decide if Gen2 to Gen3 is worth the cost.

This. If you're coming from a Gen 1 Cube then this is a no brainer. It will be a big leap, but if you're coming from Gen 2 unless you need Wifi 6 it's not a huge upgrade. It still only has 2gb of ram on board and the Ethernet port is only 10/100. That said, if you have an older fire stick or cube then this is the fastest FireTV out there currently.

If you're considering this but unsure I'd preorder it now while this coupon is active and you have until around the 20th to cancel it if you decide you don't want it. Amazon doesn't charge your card until it ships so it's not a big risk to think on it.

Is the cube worth the upgrade if you're using a 2022 smart tv's native apps?

I don't see a 20% or greater 'trade-in" provision for this item. Is this not available or am I just missing it? Thanks for any help.

There isn't one, at least not yet, am hoping there is one during the upcoming prime day sale. Would be even better if the coupon is still active

LOL, poor amazon... after years they do this incremental update to
a cube that nobody in his right mind would buy anywhere near msrp
while google cuts it's price, we can buy a full drm onn 4k stick for $20.

The biggest changes are the HDMI IN and "Super Resolution Upscaling". For me, the "Super Resolution Upscaling" is the biggest selling point but only if it is as good as Nvidia Shield.
