What's the life cycle of a Smartphone/ 3>5 years?Nothing wrong with cost cutting (unless quality is compromised) and certainly nothing wrong with moving into electronics based technology.
Example: Flat Screen digital televisions are cheap to produce, feature rich and far more reliable than old fashioned cathode ray tube sets.
Furthermore if the base hardware is well designed additional features and functionality can be added with a software update rather than a hardware swapout.
How many 6.1 critics have a Smartphone, Smart TV, Smart home, etc?
Other software devices have support withdrawn in what seems to be an ever reducing number of years.
Does all this technology actually make life simpler, by the number of queries on how to get the many functions operating on the T6.1 it seems not. T6 had it's fair share also.
T6.1 seems to be just a couple of steps away from an Auto-driving vehicle. If sitting in an armchair whilst travelling is what is required then no issues.
