The hope over at Amazon is that by now, the Fire Phone is lighting up the mobile market sending incumbents scrambling to innovate or push back with price cuts. And by now, Jeff Bezos, Amazon's CEO, is on a stage having already or is planning on upstaging today's just released iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S. By now, throngs of Fire Phone users are going into department stores and markets taking pictures of stuff they wanna buy and going onto Amazon's website to buy it cheaper and shipped for free through their Prime membership.
