What happened

You can power the device directly from your TV's USB port, like the updated entry-level Fire TV Stick Amazon launched earlier this year. Amazon's also simplifying its streaming stick lineup, which now includes four devices instead of five: the Fire TV Stick HD, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and Fire TV Cube.

The new Fire TV Stick 4K will be a little easier to set up than Amazon's previous 4K streaming sticks since it no longer requires a power adapter. The Fire TV Stick 4K, available starting today for $59.99, runs on Amazon's refreshed TV OS and contains Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and Bluetooth Low Energy.
