Oh but what's so different between a v1 gen3 and a v3 gen3 that makes the former 'incompatible' ?
The speed of the processor ? I think not.
No, this isn't about legacy hardware lacking features, nor is it about wanting to offer customers the best user experience ...
It is nothing more than a good example of how proprietary software (we can't change the software and we can't read the source code) is being used to draw the 'old' customers (v1 gen3) back to the Shops to replace his hardware. Hardware that is in essence feature-rich and capable enough yet incapable of getting the firmware to enable those features and capabilities. Business as ussual, I guess. But "a good thing" ? "Yes!". Just not necessaryly for the customer though.
