Weber is disabling the computer vision feature on its $999 connected grill after the company's acquisition by 3G Capital. The move shows that premium IoT hardware makers struggle to sustain expensive AI features under financial pressure. A $90 air fryer already offers the same capability, suggesting that connected appliance features lack defensible differentiation and can't justify massive price premiums. The "smart kitchen" narrative falters when margins tighten or private equity takes control.
