Following a series of reports from various outlets in the past few days, Ayaneo has deleted an announcement post on its Ayaneo Flip Indiegogo project page, which most of us took to mean the handhelds were being discontinued entirely. A new post clarifies that the Ayaneo Flip KB and Flip DS are not being discontinued, despite how seriously the original phrasing seemed to precisely imply that.
Instead, Ayaneo has clarified several points. For one, while the production of the Ayaneo Flip series was indeed canceled, it was only after 98% of its crowdfunding orders had already been shipped, with just 18 orders remaining unshipped. Thus, the series qualified for the refunding or trade-in options highlighted in our prior coverage.
