Apple has announced the Apple Home Collection, a new line of smart home accessories developed in partnership with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Designed for seamless integration into the Apple Home app, the lineup includes advanced security cameras, smart locks, thermostats, and temperature sensors.  

Managed directly through the Home app with one-tap iPhone configuration and Siri voice control, the devices feature end-to-end encryption to protect user privacy without requiring third-party apps or accounts. The collection introduces four LG cameras offering up to 2.5K resolution, AI-powered recognition for people, pets, and vehicles, and 10-day iCloud+ video history. 

The lineup features the LG Video Doorbell starting at $249.95 with dual cameras, the LG Floodlight Cam starting at $399.95 with motion-activated lighting, and the LG Outdoor Cam Plug-In starting at $299.95. For indoor monitoring, the LG Indoor Cam Plug-In, which initiates at $199.95, features an automatic privacy tilt feature that puts the lens down when residents return home. 

Security is further enhanced by the LG Smart Deadbolt Lock priced starting at $349.95, which utilizes Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology to automatically unlock when an authorized iPhone or Apple Watch approaches. 

Climate control options include the LG Smart Thermostat and Schneider Home Smart Thermostat, both priced starting at $199.95, alongside supplementary temperature and humidity sensors available for $39.95. 

The initial accessories will launch in December 2026, with select items rolling out in early 2027 for cameras in the US/Canada/UK, and lock + thermostats/sensors will be offered in the US/Canada only.
