Key Developments & Data
Bloomberg reports that Apple is developing a home security system and camera targeted for a 2027 release.
The hardware will reportedly "use AI to monitor the surrounding environment instead of actual video footage," prioritizing privacy over raw video streaming.
Apple hasn't confirmed the device or the monitoring service, though rumors suggest it will connect to a new smart home hub launching later this year.
Upcoming HomeKit camera upgrades in iOS 27, which add written summaries and highlighted footage, will require users to hold a 2TB or higher iCloud+ subscription.
The standard HomeKit Secure Video feature will continue to require at least a 50GB plan to securely stream and store end-to-end encrypted video.
