Amazon has updated the 7-inch Fire Tablet—it's now the "2022, 12th gen" version.

There's a 7-inch, 1024×600 LCD, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage (or $20 more for 32GB), and a 3750mAh battery that Amazon says is good for "10 hours." There's a microSD slot, a headphone jack, and Wi-Fi 5 (that's 802.11ac) support.

That's a huge price increase over the normal version, but it doesn't have ads and comes with a two-year "Worry-Free Guarantee." Amazon says, "If it breaks, return it and we’ll replace it for free." It also comes with a 1-year Amazon Kids+ subscription and parental controls.
