蘋果正與LG合作開發智慧家庭裝置,包括智慧門鎖、門鈴、恆溫器、感測器及攝影機等產品,雖由LG品牌上市但蘋果參與設計,並將支援Matter、Thread及UWB技術,此舉被視為HomeKit生態系統擴張的一部分,蘋果自家智慧家庭中樞亦將於10月13日亮相。

蘋果HomeKit自2014年推出以來,在智慧家庭市場一直落後於Amazon Alexa與Google Assistant,此次透過硬體合作與自家中樞推出,被視為重新爭取市場份額的關鍵策略。

蘋果準備大舉進軍智慧家庭市場,據傳除了推出自家新品,也正和LG合作開發一系列智慧家庭裝置,從智慧門鎖、智慧門鈴、智慧恆溫器、溫度感測器,到室內外安全攝影機都有,未來都能和蘋果即將亮相的全新智慧家庭中樞串聯使用。
蘋果攜手LG擴大智慧家庭版圖
比較特別的是,這批產品雖然有蘋果參與開發,最後卻不會掛上蘋果品牌,而是以LG品牌上市,並由LG負責製造和後續支援。未來消費者買到的會是「LG智慧門鎖」、「LG戶外攝影機」等產品,但背後其實也有蘋果參與產品設計。
請繼續往下閱讀...
這也不是蘋果第一次採取類似合作模式,過去就曾和Belkin、羅技等品牌共同開發配件,再以合作夥伴的品牌上市。這麼做的好處,是能更快擴大蘋果生態系,不必所有產品都自己生產、銷售和維修。
LG部分產品已現身FCC
近期LG已陸續向美國FCC等機構申請相關產品認證,目前曝光的產品包括有線視訊門鈴、智慧門鎖、智慧恆溫器、溫度感測器,以及插電式室內、戶外攝影機和附照明燈的戶外攝影機等。

這批裝置也將支援Wi-Fi、藍牙,以及Thread、Matter等智慧家庭通訊標準,方便和不同品牌的智慧裝置互相串聯。其中智慧門鎖還將加入UWB超寬頻技術,未來使用者只要靠近家門,就能自動辨識並解鎖,不必再拿鑰匙或手動輸入密碼。
LG已要求相關產品照片與更詳細的資訊保密至明年初,而現階段公開的監管文件中,也沒有提到蘋果參與開發。據了解,這批LG配件的開發進度比蘋果自家新品稍慢,最快也還要再等幾個月才會正式上市。
蘋果這波智慧家庭布局,也被視為HomeKit的一次大改造。HomeKit早在2014年就推出,但多年來在智慧家庭市場的聲量始終不如Amazon或Google。如今蘋果顯然打算結合新一代Siri AI與更多硬體產品,重新搶攻智慧家庭市場。
蘋果首款智慧家庭中樞傳即將亮相
除了和LG合作的周邊裝置,蘋果自家的智慧家庭新品也已蓄勢待發。據傳蘋果將於10月13日(美國時間)發表全新智慧家庭中樞,配備約6吋螢幕,可掛在牆上或直接擺在桌面使用,並整合Siri AI;同場還可能推出新一代HomePod mini 2與第4代Apple TV 4K。
