Apple Home adds two powerful new features in iOS 27

Apple has rolled out several enhancements for its Home app in iOS 27, with a focus on improving HomeKit Secure Video functionality. The two most notable new features include HomeKit Secure Video, a cloud-based service included with iCloud+, and a fourth feature that has been requested by users for a while: 4K video support. Prior to this update, the maximum resolution for HomeKit Secure Video cameras was capped at 1080p.

Apple's Home app is also introducing real-time updating notifications powered by Apple Intelligence. This feature consolidates related activities into a single, updated notification, eliminating outdated information. Users will now receive concise, real-time updates such as "Lydia arrived. Checked the mail. Garage Door was closed."

These improvements aim to streamline the user experience by reducing notification clutter and providing up-to-date information at a glance.
