The Kindle Fire was, and still is, a huge success for Amazon that has reached great fame and popularity very quickly. A lot of people can’t wait for the new Kindle Fire 2 to be out, even though we aren’t 100% sure on the specs. Either way, it has to be good and will answer just about all of your tablet need!
But, what if we told you Amazon was losing some money on these tablets? Look highly unlikely right? It is such a popular product and sells of the shelves like crazy! Well, you see, a company named Quanta was responsible for the design of the first Kindle and the parts that would go to it. And while Amazon has been selling the Kindle like a fire for $199, there is an estimate that the parts cost them $250. Sure, Amazon makes more money thanks to the other features the Kindle provides the costumers, but this time around Amazon is looking to step-up with it’s own profits.
Amazon is cutting on it loses! Picture of the old Amazon generation of tablets.
China Times reports that Amazon has tapped Foxconn as a second OEM to supply the parts and assemble the new Kindle Fire 2. The idea is to lower the cost, but keep the prices for the costumers as low as possible like with the first one. It’s a great move by Amazon and should bring down their loses considerably. Amazon will not how secure and reliable control of the parts and the process of assembly, which means we as the costumers can feel much safer as the product is now more reliable and secure.
The components are expected to be delivered this March which has the fan world of the Kindle Fire 2 ablaze! This means the delivery and shipment of the next generation of the Amazon Kindle Fire may begin during May or June! With all this said, the prospects of even bigger sales this year look very promising.
