Apple Partners with LG to Launch New Smart Home Accessories in October
Apple is collaborating with LG Electronics to develop a new range of smart home accessories, including a wired video doorbell, smart deadbolt lock, thermostat, indoor and outdoor security cameras, floodlight camera, and temperature sensor. These products, expected to launch around October 13, will carry the LG brand, with LG handling manufacturing and support. They will integrate with Apple's upcoming smart home hub, HomePod mini, and Apple TV, supporting standards like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and Matter. This partnership allows Apple to expand its HomeKit ecosystem while managing development costs.
