So... just like Apple does every year, not to mention pretty much every other hardware company in existence? The alternative is not to make anything new, which would just be dumb.
> Am i to understand that I wont be getting updates on my Pebble Time in the near future
Well, seeing as Pebble Time is still a brand new product, and I'm still getting regular updates on my original Pebble Steel, which is another generation older, I'm gonna say "no".
- anujdeshpande 11y agoApple or Google announcing new flagship phones every year vs Pebble announcing a new watch in a matter of months ? Can't exactly draw parallels here. Something similar would be Apple announces iPhone 6S now and iPhone 6S+ in 3 months.
- guptaneil 11y agoWhile I agree with your premise, Apple did do something similar when it launched the iPad 3 in May 2012 and the iPad 4 5 months later in October 2012.
- anujdeshpande 11y agoNot a big fan of Apple launches either :) Still a proud owner of a 5S and by current estimates, will be till 7S+ or something like that :D
- wvenable 11y agoKeep in mind though that this is same watch internals in a differently shaped case. It doesn't take a year to do that.
- anujdeshpande 11y agoTrue that. But the thousands of Kickstarter backers might have loved an option
- mbrubeck 11y agoThey're giving all the Kickstarter backers who chose Pebble Time Steel the option of exchanging for a Pebble Time Round at no extra cost.
- bob-2 11y ago> So... just like Apple does every year Difference being that Apple doesn't offer an extended return period for devices just because they released a new one. And why should they? It shows investors a lack of confidence in their products. You sold us on the Time Steel just 6 months ago, and now it already might not be good enough to keep? Why not?
