Amazon had a phone once too. Not sure doubling down on a phone is the right choice either.

The Fire Phone was expensive due to its 3D feature and had dated specs. Amazon also gave up on it very quickly.

Amazon gave up for very good reason. From what I heard from people working on it, sales were, well, not impressive. Like in hundreds of units.

Home devices were a nearer-term alternative, not sure why AR/VR had to be the thing.
