⚠ Internet Critical Status

Public-source evidence does not yet establish a documented critical pattern, but reboot / boot-hang reports plus a separate navigation-freeze report are sufficient for a Critical Risk Signal.

After two years, the long-term assessment places greater emphasis on sustained performance, usability and how the device behaves well beyond launch.
