features are coming soon means it's now or never and you have to make a choice about what doesn't make it in time for launch, we can't wait any longer. not that i'm angry about it but i'm not happy about it either. not because it's soon unnecessary but it seems to be a trend: launch a problem and simply round up a bunch of features for coming soon. imagine if the iphone launched and there were half a dozen items in the phone saying coming soon. ok if those are cool new features but let's say you get the iphone 15 and it says facetime, find my phone, gestures, nfc, and wireless charging coming soon.
if the mini3 would launch when everything is ready then it would be super late. call a bunch of features as coming soon is yet more evidence that it is late and those items couldn't get done and the smart thing to do is launch it anyway. disappointed that this is now a "thing." i get it tesla does similar and over the months and years you get new stuff added but i hate to see the drones going that route.
Actually Apple have been doing that lately too, much to some frustration. As you say its now an industry trend, my main complaint with it is when they do it to an existing feature, Say the Mini 2 has pano modes, but the mini3 has pano modes coming soon. To me 99% of the work to make panos work is done on the past product so that should be included. Now a new feature like vertical video, a coming soon for that is more acceptable, especially if it launches with it a 30fs and the 60/120fps is the part coming later. |
