Built in wifi??!!!??! Wow a $3 add on!!!!!!!! I was dumbfounded when I dropped a grand for the apex and auto feeder and how dinosaur age the hardware and software was.

I think the new software interface is the selling point. Current owners probably won't care but people in the market for a new controller will probably like the touch screen simplicity offered now by Neptune among others. The older style which had people digging through menus to find and change things is pretty archaic by todays standards and this brings them more up to date and able to compete with other controllers that have already or are in the process of updating as well. I don't think it offers more functionality than the old controller, just simplicity for new users. The Vertex controller will be interesting to see as well.

Its not just wifi, there is a LOT more and at the same price as the classic Gold. Same price + more features = winner.

It includes:

New Apex Base Unit
New Energy Bar 832
New, Lab grade, double-junction pH and ORP probes
Lab grade salinity probe
Temperature Probe
Salinity and pH Calibration Solutions

Plus.....

Built in wifi: 802.11g/n

Easier set-up: They now have a new initial setup procedure that will link you to the Apex, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and link the controller with Apex Fusion

No more firmware update: It now uses the "Apex Operating System" Neptune will notify you if an update is available and ask if you would like to apply it now or schedule it for a later time. it is as simple as “Push this Button.” to update.

The list goes on and on...have a look at their video on our FB page here https://www.facebook.com/ReefSupplies/

There was some confusion about backwards compatibility they said it wasen't at first but now they say it is. Strange
