You didn't buy an oven. You bought a subscription to your own kitchen.
The smart home graveyard is getting crowded
The June Oven launched a decade ago at $1,495, built by former Apple engineers with a camera, scale and chicken-recognizing AI, and briefly defined the premium smart-kitchen category. It now sits in a growing pile of discontinued connected appliances, the same graveyard that holds smart fridges, hubs and voice speakers killed off when their makers stopped paying for servers. Owners are left with hardware that still works but no longer talks to anything.
