Amazon’s Upcoming Fall Hardware Event: Expectations and Predictions

Amazon’s Upcoming Fall Hardware Event: Expectations and Predictions

Amazon is gearing up for its highly anticipated fall hardware event on Tuesday, September 30 at 10 AM ET, to be held in New York City. This event promises to unveil updates across several of Amazon’s product categories, continuing the trend seen in previous years. Although the event will not be livestreamed, Engadget reporters will be present to cover the announcements in real-time starting from 8 AM ET.

What to Expect

Based on promotional materials sent to the press, we have some educated guesses about what new hardware Amazon may showcase.

Echo Devices:
Recent improvements to Amazon’s voice assistant, Alexa+, suggest that we might see new models or updates for the Echo smart speaker line. Since it’s been a while since the last updates for Echo Show and the standard Echo, these devices are likely candidates for announcements.

Kindle Updates:
The invitation features an image of a Kindle showcasing a colored illustration, hinting at potential updates to the e-reader lineup. With the recent launches of the Kindle Scribe 2 and Kindle Colorsoft, there may be further enhancements on the horizon, particularly for the basic Kindle model, which has not seen major updates in years.

Fire TV Developments:
The corner of a television is also visible in the invitation, raising the possibility of new Fire TV products. Additionally, we may witness announcements related to Amazon’s Ring and Eero brands.

As the event approaches, it’s worth noting that many older Amazon devices are already available at discounted prices, likely in anticipation of new product launches. Current sales include discounts on Blink cameras, Kindle devices, and more as part of the early October Prime Day deals leading up to the official event start on October 7.

Recent Announcement Updates

On September 29, Amazon held a press event where it introduced several new products, including updated Kindle Scribes, new Fire TV offerings, revamped Echo speakers, and home security cameras from Blink and Ring.
