Apple Reboots Its Smart-Home Strategy With New Hardware and a ‘Home Collection’
I got an early glimpse of Apple’s biggest push into the smart home in years.
What the coverage shows
All five outlets converge on Apple unveiling a new smart-home lineup under the “Home Collection” name, with cameras, a smart lock, thermostats, and related devices. Engadget, The Verge, and 9to5Mac all note collaboration with LG and Schneider Electric, while TechCrunch and Engadget mention the HomeView hub. The Verge uniquely foregrounds a video doorbell and a “starter pack” framing, and Wired alone frames the story as Apple’s biggest smart-home push in years.
