Bloomberg reported on October 6, 2026 that Apple is working with LG Electronics on smart-home accessories intended to integrate with future Apple home products. This is reporting about unannounced hardware, not an Apple or LG product announcement.
MacRumors, summarizing Bloomberg and documents submitted by LG to the FCC and UL Solutions, lists a wired video doorbell, thermostat, smart deadbolt lock, temperature sensor, indoor and outdoor cameras, and a floodlight camera. MacRumors explicitly says Apple is not mentioned in the filings. The filings therefore do not independently establish Apple's involvement.
According to the reporting, the accessories would be built and branded by LG, with Apple helping develop them. Several devices reportedly support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Thread and Matter; the lock reportedly supports UWB for proximity unlocking. This does not mean every listed device supports every protocol.
The reports expect an Apple home-product event on October 13 and say the LG accessories would follow months later. Neither the event nor the accessories' launch timing is a company-confirmed promise in these sources. Prices and final availability are not established.
The practical takeaway is a reported expansion of the Apple home ecosystem through LG-branded products. Readers should wait for company announcements before making buying or installation plans. We did not independently inspect the filings or test the devices.
