Потребительская электроника следующего поколения уходит от разовых покупок «железа» к моделям «устройство как услуга», где сам продукт, программное обеспечение, поддержка, обновления, а иногда и страховка объединяются в длящиеся отношения с производителем. Для покупателей в Великобритании этот сдвиг меняет всё: как гаджеты оцениваются, используются, ремонтируются и заменяются. Это важно, потому что настоящая конкуренция разворачивается уже не […]

For anyone who’s felt that smartphone upgrades have become profoundly boring, I have good news: the stagnation is about to break.
