Exactly, normally a device like that should easily work for 10 or 15 years.

If anything, it's the iOS app that'll likely give us trouble long before we have to deal with any issues with the actual device. Looks like the smart cooker app hasn't been updated in forever, but as long as it continues to work and do what it's supposed to do, then that's perfectly fine with me. Funny, a few days ago during a spurt of holiday cooking, my wife was using both our instant pots. The 6 quart Bluetooth one that I use as well as an 8 quart model she'll bust out if she wants to make something bigger or a larger batch of whatever. Anyway, we were upstairs and she wanted to check on the status of what she had in the bigger pot and flipped open her iPad to launch the app only to remember that it was the standard model with no connectivity she wanted to check on. She expressed her frustration in very colorful language with having to go downstairs just to check the time left. Me being the loving husband that I am, I went to the kitchen instead and did a little facetime session with her to check. She commented on how the Bluetooth one makes things super convenient and lets you be lazy for little things like this. I'd like to think that if enough people continue to express their frustration and disappointment with the accessibility challenges pertaining to this new wifi model, the instant pot folks may eventually get around to addressing it. Just keep the pressure on and be noisy about it.

Because based on the discussions that have been going on here, this does not seem like anything I want. Nuts!
