Apple is pivoting towards the smart home segment, following setbacks in its car project and the cancellation of its smartphone subscription service.

The company is reportedly developing a new smart home doorbell, which will be part of a broader category of smart home cameras, alongside potential security cameras and smart locks.

This doorbell will utilize Apple's new in-house networking chip to enhance connectivity and performance, ensuring a seamless user experience.

However, concerns about user privacy and security persist, especially regarding the potential misuse of technology, which may lead Apple to delay the product launch.

Despite Face ID's impressive security record on iPhones, Apple remains cautious about its application in home settings due to privacy concerns.

The smart home hub, codenamed J490, is expected to feature a six-inch display, a front-facing camera, and built-in speakers, available in black and silver.

This central hub may integrate Apple Intelligence for enhanced voice control and task management, further solidifying Apple's presence in the smart home market.

Apple aims to diversify its revenue streams beyond traditional products like iPhones and MacBooks, focusing on artificial intelligence, robotics, and smart home technologies.

In addition to smart home devices, Apple is rumored to be working on the iPhone SE 4, expected to debut in March 2025 with a design similar to the iPhone 14.

The Apple Watch lineup is also set for an update by 2025, introducing features like satellite connectivity and blood pressure monitoring to enhance health tracking.

Moreover, the Studio Display 2 is anticipated to launch in Spring 2025, likely featuring a mini-LED display and improved refresh rates.
