It appears Apple’s rumored push into the smart home will include an Apple smart security camera. Supply-chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports the company is planning to start production of a smart home IP camera in 2026 and aims to sell over 10 million units a year.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo’s latest prediction says the Cupertino company is working on an entirely new product: a smart home IP (Internet Protocol) camera. According to Kuo’s post on Medium, the device will go into mass production in 2026.

That said, the native integration Apple would offer might be well worth it for many customers. Both of Amazon's smart camera brands — Blink and Ring — don't currently integrate with Apple HomeKit, and I think the launch of smart Apple cams could cause Blink and Ring sales to drop drastically, despite the potential price difference.
