Is the M3 as far as new features or SDK being left in the dust?

So we are coming close to a year since the release date of the M3 and It seems that new features are pretty nonexistant along with the bigger kicker is the lack of SDK support for the M3 (non enterpsie drones).  I cant find a list of the actual release dates for the M3 firmware but I think the last one was on May 31st that fixed some IMU calbirations.
What gives?

Also the current MSDK is out but A. Only for Android devices (rumor has it iOS support is dropped) B. Only for M3 Enterprise crafts

https://sdk-forum.dji.net/hc/en- ... r-1-Hello-MSDK-V5-1

So for people wanting to use their M3 for photogrammetry, Drone Mapping or just in other amazing apps like Litchi , etc we are out of luck, which makes me very disappointed.  I'm also glad I didnt sell my M2.

@djisupport ?

Thoughts?

My thought is that it is not a rumor and that yes, the consumer drone will have no SDK love.

Yes, It seems that Dji is leaving us Mavic 3 buyers with buyers remorse. @DJI has moved on from the Mavic 3

New features? SDK support? From a company which only fulfilled promised features as if it was a bonus or a favor; 6 months after you paid for their product ? Come on, your only choices are either stop buying their products, or put up with this BS

Yea I figured as much.. I wasn't quite sure if everyone had their pitchfork's out yet.  It's super disappointing and I wish we could get the M3 community to rally behind some changes for us..

You gonna flight a losing battle, especially if you try to rally support on this forum. Trust me, I know. I have a drone where Airsense does not work at all but Dji does noting to rectify the issue nor push an update no matter how many have complained about it.

I bought the Mavic 3 just because William Wong said there would be an SDK release in August!

And I still have the Mavic 2 Pro just for the fact that it has an SDK included. I hope it also has the Mavic 3 SDK, it would be disappointing not to have it...

Thank you for your reply.  It's a pretty sad day for all Mavic 3 owners who bought when it came out or earlier this year with the thoughts and hopes developers would be able to use the SDK to add the Mavic 3 to various apps, such as the amazing litchi etc.

Basically, all the loyal people who bought a M3 eariler are getting deprioritized for business and enterprise which is a shame and if this path continues I'm pretty sure you guys will see a lot of other people jumping ship for other options.

Who is William Wong and why do you trust this person?  Are they an official public relations person for DJI?

Also, I’d recommend never purchasing a product for what you hope it may be, but for what it is at the moment.  Too much room for disappointment otherwise.

Wher do you think people will be jumping to?  Autel is really the only other game in town.  You think DJI is abandoning customers?  Look closer at Autel and their V1/V2/V3 versions of the Evo 2!   They’ve completely abandoned the V1 buyers!

So if you think you are going to another brand and won’t be treated similarly, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya!

William Wong is the official person who releases notices on the DJI developers official website.
