Apple’s next move in the smart home is not to manufacture every camera, lock, and thermostat itself. The Apple Home Collection instead pairs Apple’s software, privacy model, and industrial direction with hardware developed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric.

LG supplies the broadest part of the lineup: indoor, outdoor, and floodlight cameras, a dual-camera video doorbell, a UWB smart deadbolt, a thermostat, and a temperature sensor. The LG-built accessories share a restrained visual language and arrive ready for Apple Home rather than asking users to create another manufacturer account. Schneider Electric contributes a smart thermostat and room sensor shaped around energy management and broad HVAC compatibility.

Apple’s role is the layer that makes separate manufacturers feel like one system. One-tap iPhone setup, Home app controls, Siri, Thread connectivity, and end-to-end encryption are consistent across the collection.

Cameras can store event history through iCloud+, the lock uses Home Key, and thermostats draw on Adaptive Temperature and Clean Energy Guidance. It is a partner-built answer to vertically integrated smart-home ecosystems, extending Apple’s reach without requiring it to become a camera or HVAC company.

The collection begins arriving in December, with select products following in early 2027.

U.S. prices run from $39.95 for room sensors to $399.95 for LG’s Floodlight Cam, with availability varying across the United States, Canada, and the UK.
