Amazon devices see price hikes due to memory shortages

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Amazon has implemented price increases across several of its device lines, including Echo smart speakers, Kindle e-readers, Fire TV streaming devices, and eero Wi-Fi systems. These hikes, attributed to rising memory and storage component costs, range up to 60 percent or $100 per device. While Amazon Ring products were unaffected, this move follows similar price adjustments by other tech companies like Apple and Roku due to ongoing component shortages. AI
