It's fitting that we found this out on the day the iPhone 6s was announced: Amazon's Fire Phone, its first and perhaps only shot at creating a premium smartphone, is officially off the market. The company confirmed to Geekwire that its global supply ran out at the end of August, and the handset is no longer available for purchase.

The Fire Phone was interesting, certainly, but gimmicky and overpriced for what you actually got, especially compared to its mid-range competition. And it certainly couldn't compete with the flagship phones of the world. Amazon lost a lot of money on the Fire Phone and ultimately moved the remaining devices with, well, fire sales. The company promised another attempt, but after recent word of hardware reorganisation, we wonder if that's still on the table.
