At its October 2026 event, Apple announced Apple Home Collection, a lineup of smart home accessories developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, alongside a new $299 HomeView smart display, a new Apple TV 4K and a new HomePod mini.</p> <p>The collection is a series of smart devices you control through the <a href="https://www.apple.com/my/home-app/">Home app</a> (formerly HomeKit) or through <a href="https://www.matteralpha.com/">Matter</a>, the cross-brand smart home standard. HomeKit has been around since 2014, but until now Apple mostly let third-party brands build the hardware. This time Apple is co-developing the accessories with its partners, which signals a more serious push into the home.</p>
