Bose announced that all SoundTouch speakers will reach end of life on February 18, 2026, ending updates (including security) and leaving devices functional only via HDMI/Aux/Bluetooth, while AirPlay/Spotify Connect and a stripped-down app continue. Bose has open-sourced the SoundTouch API (currently provided via a PDF), encouraging third-party development to extend functionality; in the meantime, the article advises pairing over Bluetooth, using a streaming amp, keeping/replacing remotes, or switching ecosystems until community-driven tools emerge.
