Apple and LG have reportedly partnered to co-develop and launch new Home accessories, including security cameras and a video doorbell that leaked images may have just revealed.
Ahead of next week’s anticipated unveiling of three new Apple Home products, yesterday Mark Gurman reported that Apple also has a suite of home accessories coming that were co-developed with LG.
These new accessories include a smart lock, thermostat, video doorbell, indoor camera, outdoor camera, floodlight camera, and temperature sensor.
Earlier today leaker pdfu shared images and details on the smart lock, thermostat, and temperature sensor.

The account has a small following, but it has a solid track record of publishing smart home accessory details. It also posted a variety of detailed specifications on the products that seem credible. For example, in this thread the account reveals the following:
Has a main camera and a second downward-facing camera. Includes an AC/DC converter, a USB board, and two Wi-Fi antenna connections. Supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi with WPA2/WPA3 security and has a Thread antenna.
