Story summary
- Apple will require users to upgrade to the new Home app architecture by February 10, 2026, or risk losing access to the Home platform.
- The deadline was originally set for fall 2025 and was pushed back to give users time to update.
- The new architecture, introduced in late 2022, improves performance and reliability but requires devices to run iOS 16.2 or later, which may leave older devices with limited functionality.
