What Makes Apple’s New Smart Home Accessories Different?
Every accessory supports one-tap setup through an iPhone and works directly with the Apple Home app without requiring a separate account.
The cameras support up to 2.5K video recording, while eligible iCloud+ subscriptions provide 10 days of encrypted event history. Apple Intelligence also enables automatic video summaries and natural-language searches of recorded footage.
Meanwhile, LG’s smart lock uses Ultra Wideband technology to unlock doors automatically when someone approaches with a compatible iPhone or Apple Watch.
The accessories also support Thread connectivity, while additional features require a compatible home hub.
Customers planning to build a connected home can check the complete Home Collection lineup and pricing and the iCloud+ requirements for security cameras before purchasing.
Although Apple has confirmed December availability, it has yet to reveal exactly when customers can place their orders or which accessories will arrive first.
