The steam deck is another good example. Early adopters may be disappointed to see missing functions, such as overclocking, per-game Power profiles or Windows driver programs. Valve has since added those functions.

Since the release, Valve has also added more control over the steam deck, including the ability to adjust the resolution and refresh speeds for connected external displays. It has also increased performance via an update of October that Valve claimed that Valve could improve the lifespan of LCD models by a maximum of 10 percent in “Light Load situations”.
These are the types of updates that the steam deck could play for months, but the functions were exciting additions as soon as they arrived. When companies reliably and in ways that improve the user experience, people are less imminent from updating their gadgets, which can also be crucial for device functionality and security.
Adding new functions via software updates can make devices more valuable for owners. Updates that go for addresses for addresses go even further by opening the gadgets for more people.
For example, Apple has demonstrated the power that software updates can have on accessibility by adding a hearing system function to the AirPods Pro 2 in October, about two years after the earplugs came out. Similarly, Amazon updated some Fire TV models in December to support simultaneous audio broadcasts from internal speakers and hearing aids. It also expanded the number of hearing aids that are supported by some Fire TV models and the streaming device of Fire TV Cubus.
For some, these updates had a dramatic impact on how they could use the devices, with a focus on user instead of business needs.
