I don’t believe that’s correct?
At least from the screenshots of emails I read, it stated that old devices won’t get software updates, but will continue to work. Additionally, any newer devices will not get software updates _while they’re on the same Sonos network as the old one_, because they all have to run the same version.
Edit: here’s what I read https://mobile.twitter.com/seanbonner/status/1219760460028760065 https://mobile.twitter.com/seanbonner/status/121976046002876.... It very plainly states the devices will continue operating but none of your connected devices will be updated while you’re using old ones.
- londons_explore 7y agoWhich presumably means when you buy a very new device and hook it up to your network with a very old device, there will be no software version that runs on both...
- dlandis 7y agoI don’t think so. Without updates it could lose compatibility with the services it integrates with, if the service is changed.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y agoIt also states "Over time, this is likely to disrupt access to services and overall functionality". That's pretty much the exact opposite of "will continue to work".
- avianlyric 7y agoButs that’s “continue to work as is” but if the whole world moves on, then features will stop working. E.g. they’re not gonna get updates to deal with breaking API changes from music providers. I’m not sure what more you could expect.
