The first few smart home devices and accessories that Apple co-developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric for its new Apple Home Collection are now available for preorder through the company’s online store, with delivery expected in mid-December. Apple announced the collection a month ago as part of a stronger push into the smart home space that’s led by its new Siri AI-powered HomeView smart display which is also now available starting today.
