    Has Parrot confirmed that the Anafi is discontinued?

    That's great that you received Parrot support after reading so many stories of their abandoning customers. It's also interesting that B&H had the Anafi Extended as I want to think they didn't when I was researching about a month ago. Enjoy your new drone and happy flying!

    Has Parrot confirmed that the Anafi is discontinued?

    The forum description "Check out the new Parrot Anafi and discuss it here with your fellow Parrot Pilots!" makes me wonder out loud, is the word 'new' still applicable?
