Apple is quietly phasing out HomeKit hub Support for the Third-Generation Apple TV, meaning users who update their iPhones and iPads With iOS 10 will **t be able to use the remote access feature in the Home app unless they have a fourth-generation set-top box.
Since HomeKit's an**uncement in 2014, iOS device owners running iOS 8.1 or later have been able to communicate With their Third-Generation Apple TV over iCloud remote access, which enables the set-top box to relay commands to HomeKit accessories when they're away from home.
The news will ** doubt come as a blow to owners of Third-Generation Apple TVs who use the feature, With the lack of HomeKit Support in iOS 10 signaling a**ther nail in the coffin for the older set-top box, which lacks native tvOS features like the App Store and Siri integration only available on the later model.
Apple's staggered depreciation of the third-gen device was also reflected in news last week that the company is pulling the device from its retail stores, With staff instructed to remove any remaining models from store shelves.
