Ledger finally announced in a press release, 14 months after the scheduled release date, that shipping to customers who placed pre-orders has commenced. Ledger's Chief Experience Officer, Ian Rogers, in an interview with Cointelegraph conveyed that, despite the journey being longer and more complex than expected, they have successfully brought their vision for Stax to life —a product that was announced almost 24 months prior. Rogers said, "When striving to create first-of-its-kind products, obstacles are inevitable. The road was bumpy and extended, but our perseverance allowed us to deliver on the vision for Ledger Stax as presented at Ledger Op3n in December 2022”.
Rogers mentioned the device was dispatched in its 1.4 version state, a more polished state as compared to other new devices that are typically launched in a version 0.9 state.

When questioned about the iPod creator's involvement in Ledger Stax, Rogers detailed that Fadell was responsible for designing the device. The device wouldn't have been as aesthetically pleasing if created solely by Ledger, and conversely, it wouldn't have been as safe if Fadell had constructed it on his own, he reasoned. “Tony is unyielding when it comes to creating customer-friendly products. Ledger prioritises security above all, respecting the self-custody of digital assets”.
Rogers attributed the appeal and user experience of the hardware wallet to Fadell, attracting "an entirely new demographic". He also stated this was instrumental in aligning the business with new collaborators while they are striving to construct a safe supply chain.
