According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is working on a new smart home product that would compete with video doorbells and motion sensors from companies like Ring and Nest. The device, which is expected to be released in 2024, would combine a camera with facial recognition capabilities and other sensors to identify visitors and potential intruders. It would also integrate with Apple’s existing HomeKit smart home platform. The report suggests that Apple is aiming to create a more comprehensive and secure smart home ecosystem, leveraging its expertise in hardware and software integration. While details are still scarce, the product could potentially offer advanced features like package detection and integration with other Apple devices and services. However, Apple will face stiff competition from established players in the smart home security market.
