Are firesticks becoming obsolete?

No, Fire Sticks don't have a hard expiration date, but their performance declines due to aging hardware (processors, storage) and reduced software support, typically lasting 3-5 years before slowdowns, app crashes, or update issues arise, though some last longer with good care. Software support usually lasts at least 4 years, but older models struggle with new apps, leading to a practical "expiration" where upgrading becomes beneficial.
