GoKawiilLeaked images show Apple-designed smart lock, thermostat for LG brand
Leaker pdfu posted images of a smart deadbolt lock and a smart thermostat that Apple reportedly co-developed for release under LG branding, following a Bloomberg report describing a broader lineup including cameras, a doorbell and a temperature sensor. The lock features a rotating keypad, customizable light ring and alarm settings, while the thermostat includes display and calibration options.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Partnering with LG to manufacture and brand hardware could let Apple expand its smart home lineup without building out its own device categories from scratch, a strategy that may speed Apple's push into home security and climate control. Analyst Mark Gurman's note that these products may not ship alongside Apple's own HomePod and Apple TV suggests Apple could still reference them at next week's event even if availability lags.
