Question What are the chances of Oasis 2 having red lights?

Hi,

I'm asking because I just learned that the Kindle (no light) and the Oasis 1 didn't have Audible support at launch and only got it after almost 2 years with an update. With the PW4 (hopefully) launching this week, if it got a form of bluelight filter option, will Amazon:

a.) Release a new Oasis to match this
b.) Let the Paperwhite have it even if its flagship doesn't have it
c.) Push an update to the Oasis 2 to activate a form of bluelight filter because they've secretly hidden this feature in the hardware but for some reason wasn't able to implement at the beginning just like the Kindle No Light and Oasis 1 in terms of Audible support?

EDIT:
I seem unclear so I edited the post.

Lights are a hardware issue, can’t do it by software update.

You mean Oasis 3, not two.

I think it's pretty likely that future Kindles will have a color-shifting frontlight.

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear. I know that. But as I've said, the Kindle (no light) and the Oasis 1 had that hardware capability but it laid dormant for almost 2 years.

If last year's Oasis had a color-changing frontlight, someone would have found the LEDs by now.

Remember, we knew the first Oasis had BT because someone ripped it apart and checked.We would have heard if someone had found color-LEDs in the O2.

Yeah, that's true. So nobody found in any tear downs? The thing is, is it possible for a led light to have multiple color functions and maybe they never found out because the leds are off in the teardown? I'm just having wishful thinking, obviously. LOL

The software would have to support color changing LEDs and it doesn't. Do you really think Amazon is stupid enough to put in color changing LEDs and not support them?

The only teardown I've read about was destructive, so teardowns for it probably will be rare.

Well, they were 'stupid enough' to include Bluetooth Support to the Oasis 1 on launch, but never activated Audible Support until early this year?

One thing I like about my Nook Glowlight is the orange hue for night reading.

Fire tablets have it on the dropdown top of screen

If only they'd renamed the Paperwhite 4 to something like Paperwhite Natural and given it the option of warm light! If they had done this, I'd snap it up. As it is I'm seriously considering abandoning kindles for Kobo, or even Pocketbook.
