SONOS RELEASE "End of software updates In May the following products in your system will be classified as legacy and no longer receive software updates and new features. This will affect your listening experience.
Legacy products were introduced between 2005 and 2011 and, given the age of the technology, do not have enough memory or processing power to sustain future innovation.
Please note that because Sonos is a system, all products operate on the same software. If modern products remain connected to legacy products after May, they also will not receive software updates and new features.
You have options Continue using legacy products You can continue using legacy products after May, but your system will no longer receive software updates and new features. Over time this is likely to disrupt access to services and overall functionality. Trade up legacy products Save 30% on a new product when you upgrade through the Sonos Trade Up program."
