Apple is reportedly working on a brand new product that brings its smartphone security technology to your homes to keep you safe. A report hints that the brand’s next big thing could be a smart doorbell, which unlocks your doors using the Face ID.
Apple’s Smart Doorbell with Face ID
The news arrives from Mark Gurman, who shared the information in his Power On Newsletter. The Cupertino based giant is reportedly planning on bringing the facial recognition technology from its mobile devices to its smart home lineup. This doorbell could apparently connect to a smart deadbolt. It may even include existing HomeKit compatible third party locks.
Apple might partner with a lock making brand as well for a more rounded experience, rather than building doorbells from scratch. Since this is the first time we are hearing about this Apple smart doorbell. So it is likely a while away from a wider release. Gurman claims that the smart doorbell with Face ID is still in the early stages of development. This means that the earliest we can expect this to be released around the end of next year.
With this new smart home product, the iPhone maker is likely planning on competing with Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest lineup. That’s not all, the smart doorbell isn’t alone. Apple seems to be developing a bunch of other smart home products. These could include the smart home hub gadget that the company is rumored to be working on. It is expected to be unveiled sometime next year and may arrive with other new products. This is all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.
