Amazon is phasing out Fire Tablets because they weren’t ‘giving customers what they were asking for’
Panos Panay says there are more hardware announcements coming, but don’t expect an Amazon laptop.
AI Summary
Amazon’s head of consumer electronics, Panos Panay, told Bloomberg the company will discontinue the Fire tablet line and replace it with “Alexa Tablets.” The new devices will run standard Android rather than Amazon’s custom Fire OS, giving users full access to the Google Play Store, a capability the Fire tablets lacked. This shift marks a strategic move to align Amazon’s hardware with mainstream Android ecosystems.
