Apple S Next Big Smart Home Move Is Reported To Be A Smart Doorbell With Face Id Support
Gurman mentioned that the doorbell would wirelessly connect to a compatible deadbolt lock and allow users to unlock the door with Face ID automatically. The lock would basically work like your iPhone, unlocking automatically when you or another resident look at it.
He further mentioned that the doorbell would work with third-party HomeKit locks. Also, Apple might partner with another brand to offer an all-in-one solution. The tech titan would certainly boast its in-house smart home doorbell for privacy and security benefits. Gurman also mentioned that the smart doorbell would feature Apple’s rumored Wi-Fi chip. Just like biometric login information on other Apple devices, the smart camera would be equipped with Apple’s Secure Enclave chip that stores & processes FaceID info to protect user data.
