Amazon has increased prices on its hardware products, including Fire TVs, Echos, Kindles, and Eeros, by as much as 60%, citing a global shortage of memory and storage components. For example, the Echo Dot's price jumped from $49.99 to $79.99 overnight. This price hike reflects broader industry challenges as the AI-driven demand surge for memory raises production costs, which companies are passing on to consumers. The shortage is expected to persist through 2027, with prices stabilizing possibly in 2028, prompting companies like Apple to introduce leasing options to ease the impact on buyers.
