Apple Working on Smart Doorbell with Facial Recognition
Apple is reportedly developing a smart doorbell with facial recognition technology that would wirelessly connect to a deadbolt lock, offering a similar experience to Face ID on the iPhone. This move is part of Apple’s push into the smart home devices market.
Focus on Smart Home Devices
After cancelling plans for a car project and facing lukewarm response to Apple Vision Pro, Apple is now focusing on smart home devices that integrate with its existing product ecosystem. The company believes its commitment to privacy will be a key differentiator from competitors like Amazon Ring and Google Nest.
Future Plans for Launch
Apple is deep into the development of the smart doorbell and is considering making it compatible with third-party locking systems through its Apple HomeKit support. The smart doorbell is expected to launch after a smart home hub, which is projected to debut in 2026.
