Apple Reportedly Developing Smart Doorbell with Face ID Technology

The device, still in early development, could integrate with HomeKit and third-party locks while emphasizing privacy and security.

Apple is reportedly working on a smart doorbell that uses Face ID to unlock doors for recognized residents, similar to its iPhone authentication system.
The doorbell may wirelessly connect to third-party HomeKit-compatible locks or potentially launch with a partnered lock manufacturer for a complete system.
Privacy and security are key focuses, with the device expected to include Apple's Secure Enclave chip and Proxima wireless networking technology.
The product is in its early development stages and is unlikely to be released before late 2025, with no confirmation yet on whether it will include video recording capabilities.
This effort is part of Apple's broader push into the smart home market, which includes rumored smart home hubs, cameras, and other connected devices.
