Nope, though the clickbait title would make you believe so. Nothing is discontinued.

(They are just changing the name)

The Chromecast is a small $35 dongle that goes behind your TV. This new thing is a whole $99 set-top box with an AI integration. They're not really the same product.

They are literally no going to make the dongles any more
