GoKawiilApple opens pre-orders Nov 13 for LG-made cameras and doorbell in Home Collection
Apple confirmed to Engadget that pre-orders for three Apple Home Collection devices—an LG-made indoor camera, outdoor camera, and video doorbell—will begin November 13, the same day the Apple HomeView smart display and updated Apple TV 4K launch in stores. These three products are the first in the Home Collection lineup and are expected to ship in December, with thermostats, door locks and other accessories arriving later, some next month and the rest in early 2027.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The staggered rollout suggests Apple is prioritizing camera and doorbell hardware, built with LG, as an entry point into the smart home security market before expanding into climate and access-control devices. Pairing these accessories with the new HomeView display and Apple TV could be an attempt to strengthen the broader Apple smart home ecosystem, encouraging customers to buy into multiple connected devices at once.
