A few days after Sonos announced it would stop updating some of its oldest products with new features going forward, CEO Patrick Spence has written a note to customers seeking to assuage their fears over what’ll happen in May. As we reported originally, Spence says that all legacy Sonos products will continue working past May, just as they do now. There’s no forced brick coming. Spence also committed to supporting those products with bug fixes and security updates, whenever possible. Of course, there’s still no way to know exactly how long these products will continue to work — at a certain point, it’s easy to imagine a scenario in which Sonos updates its controller apps in such a way that removes support, but it doesn’t sound like that’ll happen any time soon.
