It’s common for brands to release new products as their sales grow. With each hardware iteration, companies aim to capture a larger market share by launching updated versions of existing products. This is why we see so many "second-generation" and "PLUS" models hitting the shelves. Apple, known worldwide for its innovative approach, pioneered this "technology habit," evident in products like the iPhone 6 and 6S. This same trend has extended to the smart network set-top box industry.
The introduction of new iterations benefits both manufacturers and consumers. Manufacturers can retain their original user base while expanding their market reach. For users, these updates mean familiar interfaces and functionalities, making them easier to use. Today, I’ll share my recommendations for some of the most worthwhile iterative products currently available.
