There's a difference between the one-time upfront cost of purchasing a device, and the recurring cost of supporting it with software updates (which is, in the most recent case, sometimes mandated). It's not a "pricing mistake".
- kevingadd 3y agoYou can bake that into the list price of the device based on how long you offer warranty coverage and/or updates. Every device vendor is already doing this unless they're completely clueless.

- summerlight 3y agoIt's their job to set the proper price to cover the recurring cost, like all other companies.
