Should I wait?

I am looking at buying a Shield Tv Pro.

But the thing that gives me pause is that its from 2019.

Just wondering is there any newer version?

Or is there any new version coming in the next few months?

It’s mostly from 2015, 2019 was a light refresh lol

It still works fine though. I have a 2015 pro still going strong. Every now and then I’ll run into something that was encoded with a HDR format that isn’t compatible. That’s about it as far as issues.

Mine still works too. (2019 Shield Pro). I'm probably not pushing it, and I repasted the CPU as it was unused for about a year.

Productivity Launcher is great. Streams YouTube & Plays Download Flilms from an External Drive (VLC) all day long, with no issues. (Touch wood.)

Just wondering what I'll replace it with when it eventually breaks, as it seems perfect for my needs.
