So let’s end all manufacturing then. You haters sound ridiculous. Is the 2019 Rav 4 not a newer and improved model of the 2018? Is the iPhone XR not an improved version of the 8 or 8 Plus? Doesn’t a modern home with geothermal heating and cooling have superior technology to older heat pumps and furnaces? Doesn’t Nike release a newer and better Air Max every year? Aren’t lithium ion batteries better than the Nickel Metal Hydride we used to use? Isn’t 4G better than 3G? Isn’t the Sony X900F better than the x800F of a few years ago?
For crying out loud every company puts out a newer version as technology improves or newer ideas are formulated. You all are trying to act like Hifiman is evil for allowing an upgrade option. I wish I could just upgrade to a new pair of Air Jordan’s when my old ones wore out instead of having to buy a brand new pair at MSRP every 6 months.
What do you all want? Everyone has to drive only the Ford Model T for the rest of time because newer innovation isn’t allowed?
I know what you are trying to say and agree to that. However not all upgrades that Nike, iPhone etc release every year are genuine upgrades and more like fixes and cosmetic change.
