It has been nearly two years since Amazon last held a major Devices and Services event. While it may feel like a shorter time, the tech landscape has evolved significantly since then. In 2024 and 2025, Amazon hosted specialized events focusing on Kindles and Alexa AI, but the last occasion where a new Echo product was unveiled on stage was in 2023. This gap highlights the anticipation surrounding the upcoming event.
One of the most notable shifts at Amazon is the appointment of Panos Panay as the new hardware chief. Panay's experience and vision are expected to bring fresh perspectives to Amazon's hardware offerings. Today, he will be taking the stage to deliver a keynote presentation starting at 10 AM ET. Our team, including Jeff Dunn and Sam Rutherford, will be reporting live from the event in New York City, ensuring you stay updated on all the latest announcements.
As is typical for Amazon, there will be no live video stream of the presentation. However, you can follow along with our comprehensive liveblog, which will provide real-time updates and insights. For those who prefer a more polished, corporate perspective, Amazon's official newsroom will also cover the event. Our live coverage kicks off at 7 AM ET, and we’ll likely share our thoughts on everything from snacks to the general vibe of the event. So, whether you’re looking for in-depth analysis or just the highlights, we have you covered.
With the changing landscape and new leadership, we can expect exciting announcements regarding Amazon's latest products and services. The focus will likely be on enhancing user experience with innovative features for existing devices and introducing new ones that align with the company's vision for the future.
