Yeah, the potential for enshittification is massive. I can imagine they'll offer the Wi-Fi for free at first, use that as a reason to take out screens, and then start charging for the Wi-Fi as an "extra service" (in the way that everything is charged for these days, including basics like booking seats together if you're booking for two or more people). |

The free connection replaces the screen: you can see the flight status, destination tourist guide, connection information and the in-flight menu and catalogue. Sometimes you can watch films, TV or stream music and podcasts.
There's a cheap level which claims to allow messaging services.
Then something 'normal'
And finally something 'business' which supports VPNs.
One airline I used had holders in the headrests to support a tablet or large phone. (I forgot which one.)
