I guess they are modernizing the IFE, with OLED displays, USB-C. Presumably bluetooth too and maybe if there's a way to cast or AirPlay from your devices onto that screen ...
UA's goal is to increase prices and sell more premium seats. They''re making an attempt to compete with the luxury international F carriers for cash customers with the Polaris Suites. The remaining non-suite seats are likely to have less space than what we have now, so normal J customers are likely to get hosed by these developments.
