Apple and LG partner on smart home device lineup

Apple and LG are co-developing a new batch of smart home devices, including a smart lock, doorbell, thermostat, and several security cameras. The products will carry LG's branding but are designed to work with Apple's upcoming smart home hub, which is expected to be introduced at an October 13 event. LG is handling both manufacturing and product support, according to multiple reports.

Why it mattersApple expanding its hardware ecosystem is a clear move to compete directly with Amazon's smart home products. Working with LG could help Apple bring more connected devices into homes, boosting its presence in the smart home market.
