Amazon’s Fire TV Stick Is (STILL!) 50% Off For Cyber Monday—& There’s Even a Baby Yoda Version

Every year, there are just some sales that Amazon Prime users can always count on—and that includes these Firestick TV Cyber Monday deals.

That’s right; the online retail giant has slashed the prices on its ol’ reliable streaming sticks yet again in time for Cyber Monday 2021. But this year, there’s an added stick in the mix: the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. Think of the Fire TV Stick 4K Max as a maximized version of the classic Fire TV Stick—though they look relatively the same, Amazon’s 4K Max model is about 40 percent faster, which means way faster load times and the most reliable streaming connection from a streaming stick thus far.

While all of this certainly sounds appealing (and let’s be real, who doesn’t want to kick laggy streaming to the curb?), you may still have some lingering questions about Fire TV Sticks. Below, we’re diving into everything there is to know about these nifty streaming sticks—from how they work, to the best Firestick TV Cyber Monday deals this year.

What exactly does the Fire TV Stick do?

Put simply, Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks are excellent little devices that make any standard television work like a “Smart” TV. Smart TVs typically offer internet connectivity, making them ideal for streaming online providers like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Disney+ and more. However, many of us are still using our reliable standard televisions and simply need a little help to access online streaming—and it’d be great to do so without breaking the bank. This is where streaming sticks like Amazon’s Fire TV Sticks can prove to be super useful.

Fire TV Sticks physically attach to your existing television via HDMI port, allowing you to connect via WiFi to access streaming content. After purchasing the Fire TV Stick, every streaming app and entertainment service is free to install; but keep in mind that many streaming platforms will require a subscription to continue viewing films and shows. Some services, like Hulu and Netflix, currently offer free trials to try out their services before committing long term. But to find out what all the hype is about behind the Fire TV Stick, check out some options you can shop below.
