Hi!
This leads to an interesting marketing possibility, and one that I have seen in action only a few times: the idea that a subsequent release of a product might be smaller or have fewer features than the previous version, and that this property should be considered a selling point. Perhaps the market is not mature enough to accept it yet, but it remains a promising and classic ideal — less is more.
Apple is doing it from time to time, and is not shy about it. I'm not sure I personally am a big fan, but it works for many people.
