Apple's Smart Doorbell: The Future of Home Security with MagSafe and AirPods Pro Integration
Rumors suggest that Apple is developing a smart doorbell as part of its investment in the HomeKit ecosystem. The device is expected to launch in 2026 and could feature HomeKit Secure Video, facial recognition, Face ID, and MagSafe integration. A leaker named Kosutami hinted at the possibility of using the iPhone's reverse wireless charging capability with the iPhone 17 Pro to provide emergency power to the doorbell. Additionally, it is rumored that future AirPods Pro models will be able to play a chime when the doorbell rings, extending the functionality beyond HomePods. The leaker has a good track record but also some inaccurate predictions.
