Too bad that flipper didn't upgrade the hardware to include bluetooth and wi-fi at minimum. Makes it really limited. Also, the price for purchasing a device went really high compared to the initial price of 100 euros per unit.

Really a pitty, love my flipper. :-)

It does include Bluetooth, and you can get a wifi board that isn't super useful (at least to me).
The WiFi board unfortunately lacks the polish that the rest of the unit has. It’s like minimally attaching a bare raspberry pi to your Flipper in the most awkward way possible. They really should have built this in, particularly considering plenty of ESP-32s come with Bluetooth and WiFi for very, very cheap.
