      Unless these people paid a premium for this kind of “smart” device vs. the cost of a basic version.

        I think the bigger issue is that they’re bricking all support for the oldest models, trying to force customers to abandon a fully functional device just because they want more money.

        The app subscription fee is obnoxious as all get out, but punishing your oldest customers for your profit margins is what’s a bit infuriating.

        At least, imo.

      Except, prior to this announcement, there was apparently another statement from Anova that you can’t control the first gen ones.

      the announcement follows an Anova statement saying it will no longer let users remotely control their kitchen gadgets via Bluetooth starting on September 28, 2025.
