Apple Eyes AI-Powered Home Security for 2027
Confirmed
In Short: Apple is reportedly planning a privacy-centric home security camera and monitoring service for next year, aiming to integrate advanced AI for home surveillance.
Apple is reportedly planning to launch an AI-powered home security camera and monitoring service in 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The device is designed to be privacy-centric and will use AI to monitor homes instead of relying on actual video footage.
Gurman also notes that the security device will work with a new home security and monitoring service, though it’s unclear if Apple will provide this service under its own brand or through a partnership with an existing security provider.
The move into home security aligns with Apple’s growing interest in smart home products, following previous reports of the company working on a line of smart home devices, including a home security camera.
Google’s connected ecosystem already includes first-party Nest security cameras and third-party models, and it partners with ADT for professional home security monitoring, suggesting a competitive landscape for Apple’s upcoming product.
