Usually I suggest external boxes but I've been testing the native apps on the Sony OLED and the 2nd gen Apple TV I just got. Side by side with Directv Stream app it's noticeably faster changing channels on my Apple TV.
I'm only missing the new Fire Cube now, but the Firestick Max has been good enough. I was just watching a comparison on Digital trends and I'm like that guy, spend as much as you can afford since you are watching it a lot like me. For now I'm keeping the new ATV on my OLED and running regular media over my ROKU Ultra on other TV. I put this MAX and The Chromecast Ultra on an HDMI splitter for the TCL 6 series. The Roku Ultra has 4K HDR football right now on FoxSports app.
So yes, this Max is worth $30 but a wired box like the Apple TV is better and costs a lot more. I'm a reluctant Sony and Apple fan but that's starting to change.
Unless there was a convincing comparison video I wouldn't think Fire OS 7 helps keep the Fire TV Stick ahead of the pack in performance. If the apps for cache clearing really do help speed it up then it's a nice deal for $29.99 especially for an older smart TV.
ITT: People who used to scream at their Direct TV receiver every time the guide lags at all. It's the same people who are willing to spend hundreds on a device and hundreds more every month on streaming services just to be 10000% sure it's seamless and with zero lag ever.
If you're the part of the "I WILL PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR CONVENIENCE" crowd, why are you even here? Why are you bothering complaining about these Firesticks that literally cost 1/4 the price of the Apple TVs you prefer? Are you really naive enough to think that the two pieces are hardware would perform the same way? Get a grip. Better yet, get off Slickdeals because you should be browsing Apple's or Best Buy's website instead.

I would agree that bashing the device isn't warranted, and also agree that they do well. What's weird is wandering it here behaving as if one should expect similar performance from a device that retails at $130 and very rarely goes on sale and a device that almost perpetually can be found at $30 to $35. That isn't me criticizing the Firestick, but rather those who have trouble setting reasonable expectations.
