Apple is coming for Google Home, and LG could help it get there
Doorbells, locks, cameras, and thermostats are all part of the plan.
Apple is reportedly teaming up with LG to build a wide range of smart home devices, potentially challenging Google Home's dominance in the market. According to Bloomberg, the collaboration could see LG produce a video doorbell, smart lock, thermostat, cameras, and a floodlight camera, all carrying the LG brand but designed, engineered, and shaped by Apple.
The smart home hub, Apple's long-awaited product, is set to launch on October 13. However, the LG-made accessories are expected to be available a few months later. Apple's move aims to expand its smart home ecosystem beyond its new screen on the kitchen counter, previously relying on other manufacturers to fill the gaps in HomeKit.
