Apple sets preorder and delivery dates for first Apple Home Collection devices
Several LG smart home products are now available to preorder with mid-December delivery, while most of the collection is not yet orderable.
The first Apple Home Collection smart home devices, co-developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, are now available to preorder through Apple's online store. Delivery is expected in mid-December.
Only a few LG accessories are currently open for preorder: the $299.95 Outdoor Cam, the $199.95 Indoor Cam and the $249.95 Video Doorbell, all showing estimated shipping between December 11 and December 17. The LG Floodlight Cam, Smart Deadbolt Lock and Smart Thermostat, the Schneider Home Smart Thermostat and the $39.95 Schneider Home Room Sensor do not yet have preorders or ship dates.
Apple announced the collection a month ago as part of a bigger push into smart homes. The new Siri AI-powered HomeView smart display also went on sale starting today. The devices use Thread to stay connected if the internet or Wi-Fi goes down, and they can update their network credentials automatically.
