Apple Home Collection Accessory Pre-Orders Begin November 13

Apple announced that customers can begin placing pre-orders for three specific accessories from the Apple Home Collection on November 13, aligning with the release of the Apple HomeView smart display and a refreshed Apple TV 4K. The initial lineup includes an indoor camera priced at $200, an outdoor camera priced at $300 (or $400 with a floodlight), and a video doorbell priced at $250. These devices are the first products created in collaboration with LG to ship, with deliveries expected in December. Other upcoming accessories like thermostats and door locks will follow next month and into early 2027. All three of the debuting devices feature 2.5K video recording capabilities, night vision options, and integration with iCloud+ for video history alongside built-in storage. Privacy is a central focus for the new line, featuring end-to-end encryption that prevents both Apple and LG from accessing user data. Users will be able to manage the cameras and receive notifications seamlessly through other Apple devices such as iPhones and HomeView displays.
