What happens if Trezor's hardware gets updated?

[manselr]

Let's say they release a better hardware version, and yours get updated... now you feel like you are using deprecated hardware. Should they send people that already bought the original a new version for free? or are you supposed to buy new versions every X year? I have my doubts of this being ethical, but business is business I guess.

I think theres no danger whatsoever that they will send you out a new one , but saying that i thought these hardware wallet were supposed to be so good you shouldnt need any updated hardware. The only way i could see you getting a new one would be if the ones that aare currently out had an issue where they were failing prematurely or something like that.

I think it depends on the company policy but in general only with very expensive products you can exchange your old version with the new generation of devices free of charge. I don't think this will be the case with the Trezor.

Just buy a new one.

well isn't the same as being forced to buy a new computer to play the last game? unless they are mandatory, old hw will be always retro compatible

Just buy a new one.

This.

You will not be sent a new hardware wallet just because you have the previous model.

As with all technology related hardware, yesterday's hardware is old today.

well Apple release a new phone quite often and no one gets a free upgrade

well mining rigs release a new version every few months and no one gets a free upgrade

so i guess they shouldnt give away freebies.
you dont have to buy a new version every year.. as long as the product still dues its primary purpose you dont need to upgrade. and its only a choice to upgrade if there are NEW EXTRA features that you might want to use
