Amazon.com Inc.&#8217;s Ring (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) has expanded its home security portfolio with the launch of smart smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
What Happened: Amazon's Ring is partnering with fire safety product maker Kidde to launch two new products: the Kidde Smart Smoke Alarm with Ring and the Kidde Smart Smoke and CO Alarm with Ring.
These devices seamlessly integrate with Ring's home security ecosystem, allowing users to receive real-time alerts through the Ring mobile app, the company announced at CES 2025 on Monday.

The Kidde Smart Smoke Alarm with Ring is priced at $54.97, while the Smart Smoke and CO Alarm with Ring costs $74.97. Both are set to ship in April 2025.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: Ring, acquired by Amazon in 2018 for $1 billion, is best known for its video doorbells and has since expanded to include a diverse lineup of security products.
The company, under CEO Liz Hamren, reported profitability for the first time in 2023.
Amazon&#8217;s move into fire safety comes as the smart home security space heats up, with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) reportedly preparing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42666738/how-apples-upcoming-smart-doorbell-compares-to-amazons-ring">enter the smart doorbell market</a>.
Apple's upcoming device is rumored to feature Face ID for facial recognition, setting it apart from Amazon&#8217;s Ring, which relies on motion detection and recording.
According to Vantage Market Research, the global smart home market, valued at $75.36 billion in 2020, is projected to surpass $423.95 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.10% anticipated between 2022 and 2028.

Payments Platform Paysafe Receives Payment Institution (PI) License To Launch Regulated Online Sports-Betting Market In Brazil

Pro-Bitcoin (CRYPO: BTC) Canadian politician Pierre Poilievre became the favorite of Polymarket bettors to become the country's next prime minister after the federal elections following Justin Trudeau's resignation on Monday.
What happened: The odds in favor of Poilievre, the head of the Conservative Party of Canada, <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/next-prime-minster-of-canada?tid=1736209959811">jumped </a>to 88% on the Polygon (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">POL</a>)-based decentralized prediction platform. Conversely, the probability of Trudeau returning to power dipped below 1% as of this writing.
About $467,645 has been wagered on the outcome, with bets linked to Poilievre amounting to $278, 387.&nbsp;
The next Canadian federal election will take place on or before Oct. 20 to elect members of the House.
Poilievre had an even <a href="https://kalshi.com/markets/kxcanadapm/canada-pm">stronger chance</a> on Kalshi, a federally regulated betting platform, with 95% odds in favor at the time of writing.&nbsp;
Note that Polymarket is not available to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/41838037/will-polymarket-return-to-the-us-after-getting-trump-victory-right-ceo-says-its-part-of-the-plan"> U.S. residents </a>due to regulatory hurdles.

Why It Matters: Poilievre has been a proponent of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, calling Canadians to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/09/28869060/canadians-cant-opt-out-of-inflation-with-bitcoin-prime-minster-justin-trudeau-lashes-out-a">invest in the sector</a> to avoid inflation.
The Conservative Party leader also desired to make Canada the "blockchain capital of the world."
However, Trudeau, belonging to the Liberal Party, has slammed these views, warning that anyone who followed Poilievre's advice and invested in Bitcoin "would have seen their life savings destroyed."
The speculations and bets come in the wake of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42823979/canadas-pm-justin-trudeau-steps-down-amid-internal-conflict-and-tension-over-trump-tariffs">Trudeau's resignation</a>. The outgoing prime minister said he will step down after the Liberal Party selects its new leader and stated that the Parliament will be suspended until Mar. 24.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $101,722.91, up 2.35% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Leading market analysts highlighted Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Technology&#8216;s surprise fourth-quarter performance. Jim Cramer suggested investors may have overlooked the Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) supplier while focusing on Nvidia Corp.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42835923/jensen-huang-unveils-monster-gpus-nvidias-rtx-5000-series-starting-at-549">CES 2025 presentation</a>.
What Happened: &#8220;People were looking for Nvidia&#8217;s Jensen Huang to give a big keynote this evening at CES but weren&#8217;t thinking partner (and Apple supplier) Hon Hai would have such big numbers,&#8221; Cramer wrote on X on Monday, questioning whether bears might try to downplay the significance of the results.

December revenue jumped 42.31% annually to NT$654.8 billion ($19.9 billion), despite a 2.64% month-over-month decline.

Why It Matters: Foxconn&#8217;s expansion into AI infrastructure, particularly its partnership with Nvidia for GB200 chip production, represents a strategic pivot beyond its traditional role as Apple&#8217;s primary iPhone manufacturer. The company is building what it claims will be the world&#8217;s largest AI server manufacturing facility in Mexico.
During Foxconn&#8217;s October tech day in Taipei, Chairman Young Liu showcased the company&#8217;s advanced cooling technologies for GB200 servers, while Benjamin Ting, senior vice president for cloud enterprise solutions, confirmed strong demand for Nvidia&#8217;s Blackwell platform.
The full-year revenue reached NT$6,859.9 billion ($208.59 billion), marking an 11.37% increase from the previous year, as the company capitalizes on the growing AI computing market.

Tesla Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) inventory in the U.S. continues to have foundation series Cybertrucks despite offers to clear them.
What Happened: Tesla&#8217;s inventory currently shows four foundation series all-wheel drive Cybertrucks priced at $99,990. 
Benzinga first noted the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42524912/teslas-99k-foundation-series-cybertrucks-still-available-a-sign-of-possible-demand-hurdles">foundation series Cybertrucks in Tesla&#8217;s inventory</a> in mid-December. Tesla has, since then, added offers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/12/42712707/tesla-offers-free-lifetime-supercharging-with-foundation-series-cybertruck-as-it-looks-to-clear-inventory">including free supercharging</a> on the vehicle if the order is placed on or after Dec. 27. The offer, it then said, will only be available for a limited time. 
However, a week later, there are still foundation-series Cybertrucks left in the inventory and the company is continuing to offer free supercharging during the period of initial ownership, hinting at significant demand challenges for the vehicle. 
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="361" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1024x361.png" alt="" class="wp-image-721116" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1024x361.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-300x106.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-768x271.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25-1536x542.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07022215/image-25.png 1855w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Screengrab of Tesla Inventory</figcaption></figure>
Why It Matters: The foundation series refers to a limited and pricier edition of the Cybertruck with laser-etched foundation series badges and premium accessories.
Tesla made only the foundation series Cybertrucks for the first few months of deliveries. In October, Tesla started selling the regular version of Cybertruck priced about $20,000 lower than the foundation series.
The foundation series trucks manufactured by the company for the U.S. market, meanwhile, continue to be in its inventory, hinting that potential customers are unwilling to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/24/11/41873767/cybertruck-likely-wont-be-profitable-in-q4-says-tesla-researcher"> pay a premium for the stainless steel truck.</a>

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) has committed to updating its AI feature following a complaint from the BBC.&nbsp;
What Happened: The tech giant acknowledged on Monday that its AI-generated news summaries on iPhones have been inaccurate, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge93de21n0o">reported</a> BBC.
The issue came to light last month after the BBC reported that an AI-generated summary falsely claimed that Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, had shot himself.

On Friday, Apple&#8217;s AI once again inaccurately summarized BBC app notifications, stating that Luke Littler had won the PDC World Darts Championship before it began and that Rafael Nadal had come out as gay.
This is the first time Apple has formally addressed the BBC&#8217;s concerns, the report noted.
Apple did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga's</a> request for comments.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: This comes at a time when the company is navigating a significant shift towards AI and virtual reality.
