They don’t manufacture anything. The only things with an Amazon name on that aren’t rebadged are things like kindles, echos and firesticks, and those aren’t made by Amazon.
This is a little misleading. Most companies outsource some or all of physical products creation. We don’t say Foxxcon made this phone, we say Apple did.
Additionally, Amazon absolutely manufacturers things like drive units internally, but maybe you meant consumer facing only.
I don’t say Apple manufactures the iPhone. I say Apple designs it & sells it, and in relaxed language I might say “makes it”, but “manufacture” is not relaxed language to me. I’m not even sure I’d say Foxcon manufactures it. They are one of the manufacturing partners, but so are TSMC and others.
