- Apple has announced the Apple Home Collection, a new lineup of smart home products.

Apple has historically struggled to compete with the likes of Google and Amazon for smart home dominance. Despite those struggles, it’s long been reported that Apple is interested in changing that narrative, with plans for a renewed push in the category. Recently, it was rumored that the Cupertino-based firm had partnered with LG Electronics to take on this challenge. A leak from last week even provided a first glimpse at a few of the products the two were cooking up. Today, we’re seeing the results of that work, as Apple has announced a new lineup of smart home devices to take on Google’s Nest ecosystem.
This new lineup of smart home products will be known as the Apple Home Collection. For this launch, the initial wave of devices includes indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell, and a door lock. Apple says that each item is managed through the Apple Home app, so no separate app or account is required.
