Is the new BT Smart Hub 2023 the same as the old one?

tl;dw; Yes. At quick look it seems like the same board but with one relay missing! Sad times.
I open up the new BT Hub to see what is inside.
It has the same WiFi 5 only limitation, the sockets and buttons are all in the same place as the old one? Did they just put a new box on the same old equipment?

Also shows you how to remove the stand, unscrew the screws and open up the case to get to the circuit board inside.

Very confusingly named EE Smart Hub 3 as shipped October 2023.. but everything on its labels and the box refer to it as:
"SH2 SI 1.0" "SH20A" (and 112133) which might make you believe they refer to it as Smart Hub 2?
Also the product code "GRV9517UAC32 2-A-SA" is on the underside of the router.
