Overview
- Apple confirmed that select Apple Home Collection accessories will be available to order on Friday, Nov. 13, with initial shipments scheduled to begin in December and some items delayed until early 2027.
- The first batch listed by Apple includes the LG Indoor Cam ($199.95), LG Outdoor Cam ($299.95) and LG Video Doorbell ($249.95), all of which Apple says will work natively with HomeView and the Home app.
- Key product features include a privacy-tilt that moves the LG Indoor Cam lens down when people are home, a UWB-enabled LG Smart Deadbolt that can automatically unlock as the owner approaches, and Adaptive Temperature support for the thermostats with $39.95 sensors.
- Apple says the cameras record to iCloud through HomeKit Secure Video, some Home Collection devices will support Matter, and several accessories provide local protections and offline recording to preserve privacy during outages.
- The collection was co-developed with LG and Schneider Electric to simplify setup without third-party accounts and to deepen Apple-specific integrations, a move that could speed adoption of HomeView but keeps the experience tightly tied to Apple services.
