It seems like Amazon is getting ready to launch a brand new Fireplace TV Stick to a barely tweaked distant.
As noticed by WinFuture, Amazon appears to have eliminated the second era Fireplace TV Stick from its web site. I confirmed that is additionally the case in Canada, the place the web page lists it as “currently unavailable.” Nonetheless, together with the eliminated second-gen Fireplace TV Stick, WinFuture uncovered some advertising and marketing pictures for the brand new ‘Fireplace TV Stick Lite’ set to interchange it.
Sadly, the publication didn’t have any technical information about what’s completely different with the Fireplace TV Stick Lite. The precise Fireplace TV Stick itself seems comparatively unchanged in comparison with the picture of the second-gen mannequin. Nonetheless, the distant options a number of small variations.
First, the Lite ditches the quantity, mute and energy buttons. Though it’s not instantly clear why Amazon ditched these buttons, I think about they have been pretty redundant. Most individuals have a distant to manage their TV and quantity — having these controls on the Amazon distant as properly is a bit additional.
Additional, Amazon seems to have changed these buttons with a brand new TV button. It’s not clear what it does, however the icon on the button simply exhibits a TV. WinFuture notes that Amazon is collaborating with TV stations to make their programming accessible by the Fireplace TV Stick. With that in thoughts, the TV button may very well be a straightforward method for TV Stick customers to shortly entry streamable dwell channels.
