Apple is reportedly preparing a new Smart Home sensor for home security.

Bloomberg recently published an article about John Ternus, Apple's head of hardware development and a strong contender to succeed Tim Cook when the CEO retires. This provided an opportunity to learn more about current developments, including three devices for the connected home: a desktop display on a robotic arm, an Apple Intelligence smart display with facial recognition, and a small security sensor. Apple's connected home sensor, designed for security and home automation: While the first two products have been mentioned in previous rumors, the third appears to be new and is expected to be equipped with a camera. This seemingly wireless device can be placed almost anywhere in the house to detect intruders, but also for home automation functions. For example, the sensor can detect when a room has been vacated and manage the lights, or even activate the favorite music of a family member identified by facial recognition.
