New lawsuit claims Amazon's Fire TV Sticks were built to burn out

A proposed class action alleges Amazon intentionally slowed older Fire TV Sticks and then ended software support, making first- and second-generation devices unusable.

The complaint says Amazon did not clearly disclose how long these devices would be supported, leaving customers unaware of the upgrade timeline.

Plaintiffs argue the move amounts to planned obsolescence and pushed users to buy newer Fire TV Stick models.

The case could shape how Amazon and other tech companies disclose support lifespans for older streaming devices.
