Have Garmin decided to leave the cycling device market? I haven't seen any news on a new device for a long while. My 1030 is aging and the battery is losing charge quicker.

I've not looked at devices since 2019 (found my invoice) when I purchased my 1030 so TBH I don't know what is out there.
My battery is probably 30% (rough guess) more drained than when new. I don't empty it out on a ride but normally once batteries start to lose charge like this they get worse.
Even if it is no under warranty and screen halo would be refused then there is a fix cost replacement for the cases when it was fallen accidentally. ~20-40% (not sure exactly) of the original cost maybe (whatever was the frist price when they started to sell it)
Good to see there maybe a new version.
Weekends ride battery was doing 10% per hour which is fine for the majority of rides but it's a significant drop.
I bought mine 1030 about four years ago "second hand" from a pro rider. The battery still can hold 13+ hours ride in multiple days sequence I really never tried how long until shot down, but for sure the radar battery shows empty first.
Yes, I like toys as much anybody else here in the subforum, but me personally cannot justify buying a new unit over this 1030.
btw, I would have more need for the radar+camera unit, but a $$$
