Apple’s new smart home line-up includes a smart lock, thermostat and video doorbells

Apple is expanding its smart home portfolio with a new line of security devices, including a smart lock, thermostat, and video doorbells. These products are designed to integrate with the new HomeView hub and compete directly with established brands like Ring and Nest.
Why it matters
Apple's move into hardware-heavy smart home security represents a significant strategic shift toward a more comprehensive, integrated home ecosystem.
Apple is getting serious about the smart home space. The company on Tuesday showed off its new Apple Home Collection, which includes a new smart deadbolt lock, video doorbell, thermostat, temperature sensor, and a range of security cameras.
The new devices are designed to work with HomeView , the company’s new smart home hub which can be used to control connected accessories and interact with Apple’s software.
This new range of smart home accessories could help Apple compete better with Amazon Ring and Google Nest, two established players in connected home security. The products will become available in December.
Apple says the devices were built in partnership with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric — an interesting move for the company, which has long sought to build and support every smart home accessory itself.
