Apple unveiled new smart home hardware on October 13, but many of its most capable features require users to own a recent iPhone. The requirement, reported by DigiTimes Asia, ties the device's advanced functions — reportedly including Siri capabilities — to newer Apple phones, meaning owners of older iPhone models will not get the full experience without upgrading.
Why now: People are discussing whether Apple's decision to lock key features behind recent iPhone models is a push to force upgrades.
