Last week Amazon started to raise the price of its Fire TV Sticks in Europe by as much as 20%. So far there has been no price change in the United States, but in Europe, the prices are up by as much as 20% for the Fire TV Stick 4K.
This was first spotted by the YouTube channel Free Tech and reported by AFTVnews.
With the price hike, you will find the Fire TV Stick 4k now for €69.99, up from €59.99, and the Fire TV Stick 4K Max now €74.99, up from €64.99.
This is a very rare price hike for Amazon as they rarely change the list price of an Amazon product until a new model has been released.
Amazon has always maintained different pricing in the US vs. other parts of the world. Amazon has not announced any price changes here in the United States. At the time of this posting, one Euro is worth about $1.09 US Dollars.
