I simply wanted to explain how some people could have vented wifi units and some not, on what is ostensibly the same product. It is common practice among manufacturers, including non-Chinese ones!
I'm with you on that one. What many people seem unable to grasp is that DJI are a commercial company (as most are). They're out to make profits, and they do that by constantly developing new and innovative products which they then sell to new and existing customers. They probably buy in components from many different suppliers - even for the same parts. Imagine if they have a large consignment of (let's say v2.0 ESCs) just arrived in. And the R&D department announce a new model of one component - let's say ESC V2.1. What do you expect DJI to do with all the 2.0s? Throw them away? Don't forget that they are a company who are in business with one objective - to make money. Why throw stock away?
That's why there are V3s with holed wifi modules, unholed modules, 2.0 ESCs, 2.1 ESCs ad many, many other components in as many possible combinations as you care to think about.
And we only know about 2 components recently ESCs and wifi modules. What about motherboards; or GPS units; or batteries - or any other component? Are there consistencies there? I think not!
And just because something isn't made in the US doesn't make it shite. Most things that I own weren't made in the US and they're pretty good actually. Including all of my DJI products.
Made in USA does not equal wonderful quality automatically. Look at the automotive industry. US motors have a terrible reputation in Europe for appalling build quality. And have had for many, many years.
There will always be development in complicated electronic products. There always was and there always will be. Does anyone seriously think that all Apple iPhones contain the exact same internal components?
"Just let products keep failing till we get sued"
These are $1000 flying machines with the potential to kill someone. A bug in an iPhone isn't going to hurt or kill anyone. Horrible analogy man.
You can't go about sticking random parts in it to increase profits. I understand this is capitalism, but it will be their downfall.
All it will take Is 1 death and 1 lawsuit when a quad drops from the sky killing someone because they wanted to use up old inventory
