LG Electronics and Apple are collaborating to develop smart home devices, with 7 new Internet of Things (IoT) products being unveiled in New York. The devices, including indoor and outdoor cameras, doorbell, door lock, thermostat, and temperature sensor, will be launched in the US, Canada, and UK this year. The products are designed to work with both LG's smart home platform, ThinQ, and Apple devices, and utilize artificial intelligence to analyze user behavior and surroundings to provide automated functions.

The partnership is seen as a strategic move for Apple to expand its presence in the smart home market, while LG Electronics benefits from access to Apple's ecosystem and user base.
