    The comments here prove we still don’t read the article. The new Furby is putting front and center “Does not connect to the internet.”

      The furby doesn’t need to connect to the internet directly, the app on your phone already will. I expect its permissions list to look as invasive as Play Services, or Facebook.

      Where are you seeing that? I don’t see anything mentioned either way about internet connectivity in TheHill article nor the hasbro announcement.

      The previous model connected via Bluetooth to a phone. I’m assuming the same with this one. No wifi, and therfore no “Internet” connection.

        The Amazon listing mentions “does not connect to the internet or to any devices” so it might actually not have any sort of connectivity.
