Apple is working on a new ecosystem of smart home devices via a partnership with LG, Bloomberg has reported .
The new devices — which include a smart lock, a thermostat, and a doorbell — are designed to integrate with the company’s smart home hub, another upcoming product that will reportedly launch on October 13. That hub is expected to include a 6-inch square display that can be placed on a countertop or mounted on a wall.
The two companies are also working on a slate of security cameras, including models for indoor and outdoor, was well as a floodlight. The LG devices are expected to be announced, if not formally released, next week, too. TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information.
Interestingly, the devices will reportedly carry the LG brand — despite being developed by both companies.
The new products could aptly be read as a swipe at Amazon’s smart home offerings, which currently include a variety of similar products, including its Ring home security cameras.
Apple has sought to push into new territory with its recent hardware releases. One of those new territories is an expanded smart home presence .
