When the reports of the Apple HomePad first surfaced, its nature of being the hub for smart home devices indicated that the iPhone maker was going to dive pretty deep into that specific market. More information about these have since surfaced, and it seems like the bitten fruit brand will not be making these smart home appliances alone. In fact, their production may involve a partnership with South Korean company LG.
Bloomberg reports that the “unusual partnership” will lead to smart home devices like a doorbell, thermostat, indoor and outdoor security cameras, as well as a smart deadbolt lock, among other things. The report cites sources that say that these will naturally be part of an ecosystem, with the aforementioned HomePad at the centre of it. The HomePad itself is currently slated for an unveiling on 13 October. The other appliances, though, won’t be around for at least a few more months.
