Last Update:
Apple is reportedly developing a smart doorbell that may incorporate its FaceID technology to recognize individuals approaching the door. This doorbell would wirelessly connect to a deadbolt lock, potentially allowing it to unlock automatically for residents. The project is still in the early stages, with a market release not expected before late 2025.
The doorbell might be compatible with third-party locks that work with Apple’s HomeKit, or Apple could partner with a specific lock manufacturer. While this product would enable Apple to compete with existing smart doorbells like Amazon's Ring, it could also expose the company to risks, particularly if the system were implicated in home security failures.
