"You’ll also receive two major flagship product updates to your suite this fall at no additional cost"
Any ideas, what those major flagship products would be?

Most of their range gets updated every 1-2 years, so could be any of them really.

Here’s hoping the updates - for whatever they are - are more significant than the last few. I like iZotope, but meaningful development seems to have slowed to a crawl over the past 2-3 years.

Ozone probably, maybe also Neoverb as RX got an update not that long ago.

[MogwaiBoy]

A new Ozone is expected - so that will be 1 of those updates.

Ozone and RX would be my guess, as these are flagship products. RX was updated last Fall, so it would be a year this Fall. We'll see...

It's likely between Ozone, Nectar and RX, isn't it? I would say the first two as they are longest since an update, but the last update of RX was so poor that they may try and get some momentum going again there I guess. Previously updates had been $299 initially, this was $149 so they knew it was feature-light. Then the big headline - an improvement to Dialogue Isolate - was a small quality improvement but also had a worse dialogue detection engine. Since then Waves Clarity Vx has pretty much walked all over it.

The update prices for loyal customers are a joke, only 100€ less that the full price when I own a bunch of their plugins.

Thank you iZotope for convincing me that I don't need your products anymore, good plugs but shameless marketing

Better deals always come along eventually.

Recently, Izotope has had some of the worst updates in the industry. Very small enhancements at very high prices. Maybe they’ll start offering more value with the new leadership, but I wouldn’t get excited about a future set of updates to their flagship products over current versions.

Ozone will get new denoiser straight from RX and RX will get new distortion straight from Trash. Ah, also both of them will get bx tuner.
Only $999 special price for loyal customers.

Did they drop the Standard/Advanced versions of Neutron with the latest release? I haven't seen reference to these tiers in the marketing emails I've received, and it appears to be just one upgrade price.

Yeah appears so - https://www.izotope.com/en/products/neu ... tures.html . Not even mention of Neutron 3 Standard being a thing… it WAS a thing, wasn’t it?

[Havok]

Noticed something else interesting in the promo email from iZotope:

"...this means you’ll get Neutron 4, the updated Exponential Audio reverbs"

"All products feature native M1 support today with the exception of Stratus 3D and Symphony 3D which will be supported this fall."

So looks like they might be updating the Exponential Audio reverbs after all

Simply to greedy

Not much substance in the upgrades either

My guess is the two 3D EA reverbs are the two major flagship upgrades. Their price warrants a "flagship" status as being new to the package. And they are most in need of an upgrade to iZotope branding, new GUI to match other iZotope products, and Apple Silicon native support.
