Apple's new Home products set to challenge longstanding rule – here's why

In the first half of 2025, Apple is predicted to release three new smart home devices including a smart display called 'HomePad', an updated HomePod mini and a refreshed Apple TV. If these products are successful, the company will reportedly launch its own smart home camera in 2026 followed by a video doorbell with lock integration. This expansion into making its own HomeKit accessories could challenge Apple's long-standing product rule of 'a thousand no's for every yes'.
