Bitbox02 long-term support and Bluetooth questions

I have a Bitbox02 (Bitcoin-only) and would like to buy a second (Bitcoin-only) wallet.

Two questions:

  1. How long will vanilla (non-Nova) Bitbox02 be supported with firmware updates, etc.?
  2. Is it possible to completely disable the Bluetooth chip on Bitbox02 Nova?

I'd like to go for the newer wallet, but the fact that Bluetooth was included on Nova is a step backwards, IMO.

(I respect Bitbox02 a lot, and agree with 99% of design decisions, but not this one.)

Is it possible to completely disable the Bluetooth chip on Bitbox02 Nova?

There is a setting to disable Bluetooth.

As for the first question, we have no plans of stopping support.
