Apple Unveils Smart Home Devices and Health Upgrades

Apple is reportedly working on a new home device that combines Face ID technology with smart doorbells and locks, potentially challenging Amazon’s Ring. This innovative device would enable seamless integration with Apple’s existing smart lock system.

Meanwhile, the company has made significant progress in developing AirPods as a health device, although no official release date has been announced. Furthermore, a long-awaited iPhone hardware subscription service has been canceled, leaving users disappointed.

On the Mac front, Apple Intelligence’s Genmoji feature is expected to arrive early next year, bringing improved emoji recognition and customization options. Additionally, the company’s vision for computing, as revealed last week, involves a giant, foldable iPad.
