Amazon’s next press event is Wednesday, Sept. 25, and we’ll be on the ground in Seattle at Amazon HQ to cover everything. The tech giant has made a habit of making big hardware announcements every fall. Last year, Amazon announced a dozen new devices, from the third-gen Amazon Echo Dot to the AmazonBasics Microwave, the Amazon Echo Wall Clock and the Amazon Echo Auto. We fully expect to see more hardware being released this year, too.
Since last year’s event, Amazon released a new smart display — the Amazon Echo Show 5. Amazon has also come under fire for hiring people to occasionally listen in on Alexa conversations, sparking a privacy debate.
That’s the current landscape for Amazon leading into tomorrow’s event, which we’ll be live-blogging from start to finish.
