They will reportedly support <b>Thread, Matter, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth<\/b>, allowing them to communicate with the smart home hub and other compatible devices.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Despite being developed in partnership with Apple, the products will carry the LG brand. Apple is said to have provided input on their design, engineering and features, suggesting that the company could have significant influence over how these devices integrate with its ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The partnership could give Apple a relatively quick way to expand its smart home lineup without incurring the high costs of developing, manufacturing, and supporting the products. At the same time, Apple isn\u2019t giving up on developing its own smart home hardware.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Bloomberg recently reported that Apple is working on a <b>privacy-focused home security camera<\/b> that could use AI to analyse its surroundings and respond to relevant events, rather than simply recording and storing video footage. This approach would fit with Apple\u2019s long-standing emphasis on privacy and on-device processing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">The LG partnership could therefore represent a two-pronged strategy: use established hardware partners to quickly build out the smart home ecosystem, while Apple continues to develop its own devices and software experiences behind the scenes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Apple is widely expected to hold an event on <b>13 October<\/b>, where it could unveil the long-rumoured smart home hub, a new HomePod mini, and an updated Apple TV 4K.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Source: Bloomberg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hardwarezone.com.sg\/lifestyle\/home\/apple-lg-smart-home-hub-accessories-devices-oct-13-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More details have emerged about Apple\u2019s upcoming event, where the company is expected to make another major push into the smart home market.
