Looking for the newest firestick and what should I pay for it? Can wait for any price drops.

Also another smart stick to play rte player etc. used to have a Now TV stick but can no longer buy these.

Thanks

Have you considered a Chromecast?

Brilliant device. Allows to install most streaming apps directly from the Play Store.

Is there a newer Chromecast that doesn't need the phone to work it?

Yes. The new version for the last few years is the Chromecast with Google TV.

It has a remote control. No need for a phone.

It also allows you to consolidate all your streaming service accounts and search from one screen for movies, shows, etc.

chromecast is slow - wait for an amazon sale . you can sideload the rte android tv app on a firestick easily
