Their ‘upgrade’ program was the first salvo.
This announcement is the next salvo.
Then comes no hardware support at all. This has already happened to the earliest Sonos hardware. And my iPad.
The good news is that all the Sonos devices are DLNA renderers so they can and do operate as such independent of any dodgy Sonos software updates.
Which means they work with programs like JRiver. I do this now and it works fine. I think they even work as Roon endpoints but I need someone to verify this as I have not yet switched to Roon.
I have really tired of the constant software updates that don’t provide any useful new features. We’re not voice assistant users. The last useful update for me was Room Tune.
No more Sonos for me. Too bad as I have a bridge, two connects (one w4s modded), a connect amp, a Playbar, and a Play 3.
