Although some intelligent devices have a longer period of life than others, all at some point reach the same place: they are discontinuous and before rather than after They stop receiving support from their manufacturers and developers of applications.
That’s why apps like Netflix or WhatsApp often publish lists of devices that soon cease to be compatible. We will talk about this first group today, then Three Fires TV devices will run out of Netflix in June 2025, Which? We already tell you.
The first generation Amazon TV came out of Netflix since June
Although there are still no official ads, PC-WELT reveals it Netflix started communicating via and -mail with users of some Fire TV devices. What do all these users have in common? They all use Netflix from one of Amazon’s first generation Fire TVs:
- Fire TV (2014).
- Fire TV Stick (2014).
- Fire TV Stick with Alexa’s Voice Control (2016).
And what is Netflix to contact these users? Simple, to let them know From June 3, 2025, their devices will no longer have Netflix. Not only will they receive more updates of the application, but directly They will not be able to enjoy the content of the platform.
The reason behind this decision has not been exposed, but can be easily deduced: An old hardware incompatible with new technologies And, therefore, he cannot follow the rhythm of the other most recent.
And if we become a little more specific, it is very likely to deal with the fact that Netflix is going on more recent standards. Example of this is the Codec Av1 for high quality video compressionSomething that device as old as the first generation of Fire TV simply cannot manage.
Are devices that They launched up to 11 yearsA period in which technology has changed and advanced a lot. In addition, they are one of the first approaches that the market has had to this type of dongle to easily convert traditional TV to Smart TV. So really They had a rather extensive life And we even surprise ourselves that some users continue to use them.
However, starting from June 3 there will be only one solution for these users: Update your Fire TV to more recent versions If you want to continue enjoying the Netflix catalog. A good way to do it? Take advantage of the Amazon Prime Day 2025, which will surely bring incredible discounts on TV Fire Dongles.
