The email from Bose that should have made me angry - but turned me into a fan instead

Bose SoundTouch speakers will reach end of life on February 18, 2026, ending updates (including security) and reducing cloud-driven functionality, though basic use via AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Bluetooth, HDMI, and Aux will continue alongside a stripped-down app for setup and basic controls. Bose has open-sourced the SoundTouch API, potentially enabling third-party tools to extend functionality, while users are advised to retain physical remotes and consider alternatives like streaming amps or other ecosystems.
