ESP-12F Lifecycle

Post by nathancollinsvarex »

Does anyone have any idea on the ESP-12F product lifecycle (sold as part 2491 by Adafruit)? I know the ESP8266 has been around for a while now and more recently we're getting the ESP32. Can we expect the ESP8266 to stick around for a while or are we at risk of it becoming obsolete with the addition of the ESP32? I've got a design mostly done that uses the ESP-12F and was just hoping to get some confidence here that I'll have a decent lifecycle with this module.

It looks like Espressif has committed to at least 12 years for any device:
