Amazon Alexa Loses Her Voice Ahead Of Apple HomePod Launch

Amazon's personal assistant Alexa has lost her voice ahead of the launch of Apple's HomePod smart speaker. However, there's nothing to worry about because the e-commerce company is simply updating Alexa's software in preparation for its rival's new product. Amazon recently released a sneak peek at its upcoming Super Bowl LII commercial. The 30-second clip published over YouTube shows a dramatic turn of events starting with a female user asking Alexa about the weather. The digital assistant manages to start its response, but then it coughs and goes silent, causing the Amazon Echo user to worry. The teaser then cuts to a different scene showing a television reporter announcing, "Amazon's Alexa lost her voice this morning."
