I don't know if the new app was rushed out the door because the Sonos Ace (headset) is about to be launched. But my gut feeling days yes. Why else release an app in this state.....

 

With this context. Where you interested in buying the Sonos Ace before the new app release? And has the new app release changed your interest in buying the Sonos Ace?

So why would you need to build a new app from the ground up?  Something in it has to be considerably different or they would just add on to the existing app.  If not streaming, maybe the headphones or charging for playing our playlists?

I don’t know.  But I also don’t attribute malice or greed to something I don’t know everything about, especially when it comes to corporate decisions.  I sit back and wait for the story to unfold (and far more often than not the reason turns out to be something quite benign).

I wouldn’t call a company wanting to make or increase profits as greedy or malicious, but rather their basic fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.  Therefore I would expect making money to be the basis of their decisions, which as a capitalist I’m fine with.  Just do it competently.
