Amazon has introduced a new version of its Bee wearable, this time shaped like a credit-card-sized puck. The device is designed to continuously listen to and record a user's surroundings and conversations, building on the original Bee wearable concept.
Amazon introduced two new always-listening AI devices: the $75 Bee Frontier, a wrist-worn or clip-on upgrade with improved noise-filtering microphones and up to seven days of battery life, and the $100 Bee Eclipse, a credit-card-sized device that attaches magnetically to a smartphone. Both devices record, transcribe and analyze conversations using AI, continuing the Bee product line Amazon acquired in July 2025. The Bee Frontier launched Thursday, while the Bee Eclipse is said to be coming soon.
Bee, the wearable AI startup Amazon acquired over a year ago, has released two new AI devices along with a Pro subscription tier and software updates. The flagship, the Bee Frontier, replaces the original Pioneer with a smaller, lighter design, more color options, IP67 water and dust resistance, and dual noise-filtering microphones. It retains the same 7-day battery life and USB-C charging as its predecessor, and still lets users record and summarize conversations via a single button press.
Bee, the AI wearable company Amazon acquired last year, launched its first new products since the acquisition: the Bee Frontier, a wrist or clip-on device priced at $74.99, and the Bee Eclipse, a $99.99 card-sized attachment for smartphones. Both devices record and summarize conversations into notes, to-dos, and calendar entries, with free basic features and an $11.99 monthly Pro tier for deeper integrations.
Amazon has unveiled two new always-listening AI devices under its Bee brand: the $74.99 Bee Frontier wristband/clip and the $99.99 Bee Eclipse, a magnetic smartphone attachment. Both devices record conversations throughout the day to generate summaries, transcripts and to-do lists, and can integrate with services like Gmail, Google Calendar and Apple HealthKit to draft emails or calendar invites. Amazon is also launching a paid Bee Pro subscription at $11.99 a month alongside a free tier.

A reader survey found that most Kindle owners are unwilling to pay for Amazon's new Page-Turn Cover accessory, which lets users flip pages via buttons on the cover. Respondents cited the cost of the add-on as the main reason for passing on it despite its added convenience.

Amazon is selling Apple's newly announced HomeView smart display for $289.99, a $10 discount, in both gray and starlight colorways. The device, unveiled Tuesday, ships November 13th and features a seven-inch touchscreen, Matter and Thread smart home hub support, a 12-megapixel FaceTime camera, and Siri with personal context awareness.
Apple's new HomeView smart home hub, powered by an A18 chip, does not natively support several of Apple's own apps including Apple TV, Apple Books audiobooks, Apple Music Classical, and Apple News Plus. Instead, those services require AirPlay streaming from a nearby paired iPhone, a limitation Apple discloses only in small print on its announcement page.
Apple, Amazon and Microsoft each announced new AI-focused hardware within the past week, including Apple's wall-mountable HomeView device with an upgraded Siri assistant and a Microsoft Windows laptop built around an Nvidia AI chip starting at $2,599. The companies are pushing faster on-device AI chips and smarter assistants across laptops, tablets, phones and smart home devices ahead of the holiday shopping season.
