Apple is reportedly planning to enter the home security market with a privacy-centric device and service set to launch in 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The device, described as an AI-powered home security camera, is designed to monitor homes without relying on actual video footage, though its exact capabilities remain unclear.
The new security device is part of a broader line of smart home products Apple is reportedly developing, including a home security camera. This move positions Apple to compete with existing players like Google, which offers both first-party Nest security cameras and third-party models integrated with its ecosystem.
Gurman also suggests that Apple’s upcoming security service will work with a new monitoring service, though it’s not clear whether Apple will provide this service under its own brand or through a partnership with an established security provider like ADT, which currently partners with Google for professional home security monitoring.
While Apple’s entry into the home security market is anticipated, the company’s focus on privacy and its existing ecosystem could give it a unique advantage in this competitive space.
