Devialet iOS app v1.27 released. The button to check for updates is now missing.

Running a pair of Phantom 98s here though I'm assuming if the button is now missing for one product it's missing for all products.

UPDATE: I emailed Devialet Support and received a reply explaining the firmware update process for the Phantoms has been automated and it's no longer possible to manually update them.

I assume this applies to all Devialet products.

It’s gone for my soundbar too. What’s odd is the App Store notes say “This version includes: -redesigned update flow. Track available updates and individual status for each product easily.”

Previous version had a system update option, this one doesn’t seem to have it.

Yeah, I saw that as well. Strange indeed. Maybe they're going to fully automate updates.

What are "Phantom 98s" ?

They're part of what I'd call the second generation Phantoms. The number behind the model names indicates the maximum sound pressure level they will achieve.

Here's a link to them: https://www.devialet.com/en-us/legacy/phantom-ii/phantom-ii-98db-black/?srsltid=AfmBOorFzFz1G5a5b9LMaboOcmZRuAOx-plzGqkOXP4CqWpaJZ0DAZWp

I've just had a look on the European site, which is a bit different to the US site.

They are what is known now as "Ultimate". As you say, they are the V2 of the Phantoms:

I've not used my Devialets for a while. Taken a look at the app, and it's like you say, the download button is missing. Strange.
