Apple is reportedly working on a doorbell with facial recognition that could be released by the end of 2025. According to Mark Gurman’s latest Power On newsletter, the doorbell will wirelessly connect to a deadbolt lock and unlock the door. The facial recognition tech might work like how the Face ID unlocks the iPhone. It could also be equipped with the company’s Secure Enclave chip that saves and processes the images.There have been speculations that Apple is working on smart home devices that will form an ecosystem with Apple Intelligence.

Will pass on this, I paid £50 for a blink doorbell that nobody ever bothers presses, they just bang on the door as usual. So no way am I paying what Apple will likely charge (spoiler, it won’t be £50) just to get the same result 🤷♂️

If I were to store an image of my face into it then I go and shaved off my beard, mustache, and side burns at the local barbershop would I still be able to get back into my own house or would my own face look to different to Face ID and I end up getting lock out of my own house?

Woo yay more random crap to buy
Seriously though why can’t Apple just focus on the things they’re good at like phones and laptops instead of making extra “smart” products that no one wants or needs

People already steal doorbell cameras of relatively unknown brands; an Apple branded one will be much more lucrative to thieves, especially if it costs a fortune like Apple products tend to do.
