Some companies will make special versions for Black Friday that do indeed have cheaper parts or missing features, but for many it’s the exact same product as the normal SKU. They do the special SKU at the request of the retailer, to guarantee that no one can use a “price match guarantee” to make them sell more than the planned quantity of door busters.

The ability to automatically detect commercials (via sound level / machine learning) and skip them would be amazing as well. There’s an app for iOS that does this, but nothing for Android.
