Bezosās Fire Phone: 400 Cameras, Zero Friends, Dead on Arrival
Back in 2014, Jeff Bezos decided Amazon needed a smartphone, because why not ruin a perfectly good online store with a side of terrible tech? The Fire Phone launched boasting 400 cameras (yes, four hundred), a '3D effect' that screamed 'look what gimmick we hammered in,' and a home screen packed with baffling 'delighters'āa fancy word for useless bells and whistles. Naturally, it was mostly a way to buy things on Amazon, a feature users didnāt exactly queue for. Bezos aimed for domination, but Fire Phone ended up a cautionary tale best suited for tech museum snark sessions rather than pocket companions.

Amazon Fire Phone: the gadget equivalent of showing up to a knife fight with a butter knife and a shopping list no one asked for.
Remember when Jeff Bezos thought that 400 cameras on a phone was the answer? Spoiler: users didnāt just swipe left, they vanished from the market.
