Apple reportedly has pulled the Nest smart thermostat from both its online and brick-and-mortar stores, possibly paving the way for its own line of smart home appliances. The thermostat apparently disappeared from Apple’s product offerings earlier this month. Apple’s stores now are selling the Ecobee 3, a thermostat that works with Apple’s HomeKit, an Internet of Things platform that’s part of iOS. HomeKit allows users to control devices in the home via an iPhone or iPad. The newly launched Ecobee 3 retails for $249.
