Apple has scheduled its 'Welcome Home' event for October 13 at 9:00 AM Eastern Time in New York. The company is expected to unveil its first smart home hub during this presentation.
Reports suggest a potential partnership between Apple and ADT, the largest home security firm in the United States. Evidence includes ADT hiring 'Low Voltage Technician' staff who are required to sign non-disclosure agreements and use iPhones for their work, unlike other technicians who use Android devices.
The hiring process for these roles faced delays, moving from September to October, which aligns with reports of Apple postponing the launch of its smart home hub. The roles involve home automation and installation services, indicating that ADT technicians may handle the installation of wall-mounted hubs.
Additionally, Apple is reportedly developing a privacy-focused home security camera and automation system for 2027. This device aims to use AI to analyze environments instead of relying on continuous video recording. Meanwhile, ADT's existing partnership with Google is reportedly expiring and will not be renewed.
