Introducing: Trezor 7 Safe

In their Prague event, Trezor introduces Trezor 7 safe. The marketing statement? It is "quantum" ready. Good or bad promotion as if they are anticipating that crypto will be under attack?

Every Trezor Safe 7 is quantum-ready from the moment it powers on.

Each Trezor Safe 7 runs through three layers of security at startup:

Boardloader - written at the factory, never changed; verifies the bootloader.
Bootloader - installs and verifies firmware; can wipe the device.
Firmware - wallet logic and interface.

Marketing matters... And if they can do that, why not? Even if it's not happening in the next 10 years, you wouldn't want to pay to see. Without bringing new stuff like this, there aren't many reasons to upgrade or to buy the new version when there are so many battle tested devices that just work (even from Trezor itself).

This was their answer when someone asked about it:

Trezor Safe 7 is built with a quantum-ready architecture, meaning it can receive future quantum-secure firmware updates when post-quantum encryption standards arrive.
It’s about being prepared, not pretending quantum threats are solved today.

People are discussing about the hardware wallet on this thread: Trezor New Generation HW

When I saw the quantum reading whatever, I also went to read more information about it and I noticed that it is just for marketing for people to buy their new hardware wallet.

If people can be able to update their software wallet to post quantum ones, all Trezor hardware wallet should be able to be updated to post quantum. If not, I am very disappointed with Trezor.

all Trezor hardware wallet should be able to be updated to post quantum.

I wouldn't be so optimistic. All post-quantum algorithms operate with keys and signatures that are much longer than those traditionally associated with secp256k1. Additionally, the underlying math is different and more complex than what's used in ECC. As a result  SE and MCU  in quantum-ready HWs require significantly more RAM and computational power to handle relevant operations. I highly doubt that older Trezor models would be able to meet these requirements.
