Short Explanation:
It's not recommended for iOS devices with home buttons to upgrade to the most recent firmware (FW), as unfortunately it will remove the ability to summon Siri from your Chubby Buttons. If you don't plan to use that function with your Chubby Buttons, you can upgrade with no worries.
Oops! I already upgraded to the newest FW, but I want to downgrade! All good, read how to downgrade here!
Longer Explanation:
There are currently two different FW "flavors" out right now:
1. If you just took your Chubby Buttons out of the box, your device will advertise as "Chubby Buttons"
2. If you have already upgraded to the most recent FW, your device should advertise as "Chubby Buttons 2 (KS)"
If you have an iOS device with a physical home button, it's best if you are running #1. If you do decide to upgrade to #2 (Keystone), there are some benefits and some sacrifices:
Benefits to upgrading to Keystone:
- While connected to CB, the missing on-screen keyboard issue is fixed permanently.
- Track forward button does not require two taps after a small period of non-use.
Sacrifices to upgrading to Keystone:
- You will lose the ability to summon Siri from your Chubby Buttons (holding "track forward" and "track reverse").

I hope this makes sense! If you need any further color added, please do let me know! I'm also always available for a chat if you'd like to have a phone call instead.
Thanks for your patience and support -
Justin.
