Not all Echo devices will get Alexa Plus
Quote:
see if yours made the list

Amazon's AI-powered Alexa Plus won't be available for all Echo devices when the enhanced virtual assistant begins rolling out in the coming weeks.

Amazon has announced a gen AI-powered Alexa Plus, a revamped version of its popular virtual assistant that leverages the power of generative artificial intelligence to enhance the user experience. Alexa Plus is exactly what you may have envisioned when you first heard of voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google, but without the accompanying disappointment at their shortcomings.

Alexa Plus is free with Prime and $20/mo without Prime.

I have no desire to upgrade because basic Alexa does everything I need it to.

Take note that it's been 3 years since Prime increased its price:
  • $79 --- Feb 2005
  • $99 --- Mar 2014
  • $119 -- May 2018
  • $139 -- Feb 2022
