Apple’s first co-developed smart home accessories from LG Electronics and Schneider Electric are now available to order ahead of mid-December deliveries.
The first wave of hardware from the Apple Home Collection is now live for tech consumers, gadget buyers, and developers. Apple announced that its initial smart home accessories, built in collaboration with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, are available for preorder through the company’s online store on November 13, 2026. Shipments for these first orders are scheduled to arrive in mid-December.
The First Wave of Hardware
The rollout follows Apple’s initial announcement of the collection a month ago, marking a broader push into the smart home space. That hardware expansion is anchored by the new Siri AI-powered HomeView smart display, which is also available starting today.
However, the hardware selection currently available for preorder on Apple’s online storefront represents only a subset of the broader lineup. Confirmed items available right now include the $299.95 LG Outdoor Cam. Additional products introduced during the October 13, 2026 press release—including indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell, and a door lock designed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric—will roll out further as availability expands.
Confirmed Setup and Security Standards
Every device in the Apple Home Collection is built for integration. Setup begins with a single tap using an iPhone, requiring no separate apps or accounts.
Privacy architecture is also integrated into the platform. Each accessory features end-to-end encryption in Apple Home, ensuring that only users and the people they choose can access their home data.
Ordering and Delivery Timelines
Buyers looking to secure the first batch of hardware can place preorders through Apple’s online store. Deliveries for these initial orders are expected in mid-December.
Tech consumers and gadget buyers should monitor the Apple online store for inventory updates regarding the remaining announced accessories that are not yet listed for preorder.
