🏠 Apple is almost in the smart home already
📰 Two pieces of news at once from two reputable sources.
1️⃣ Mark Gurman says that Apple will release a smart home control screen in spring 2025. The device will run on a new OS combining elements of watchOS and iOS StandBy Mode, with a dynamic interface that adapts to distance. The main control is via Siri voice commands using App Intents technology, although the screen supports touch controls.
🔍 The gadget is the size of two iPhone screens (6”, roughly square) and has speakers, a FaceTime camera and a battery. It will support Safari, Music, Notes and other apps, but without access to the App Store. The home screen can host widgets and Apple Home controls. Security is emphasized, including video and audio doorbell functions, as well as integration with video cameras and security systems.
2️⃣ At the same time, Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple plans to enter the market of IP cameras for smart home with HomeKit support. Mass production will start in 2026, Goertek will be the exclusive assembler. The cameras will integrate with Apple's ecosystem via Wi-Fi or Matter.
