Pre-orders for the first Apple Home Collection accessories open on Friday 13 November, the same day HomeView goes on sale, according to MacRumors, 9to5Mac and AppleInsider. AppleInsider says the LG Indoor Cam, Outdoor Cam and Video Doorbell lead the first batch; the other two outlets say only “select accessories” and Apple has not published a list.
The cameras need a home hub such as HomeView, a HomePod or an Apple TV 4K, and are set up in the Home app without a separate account. The reports add that the cameras keep recording to onboard storage if the internet drops.
What is still unclear
The reports only describe US pre-orders. Apple has not confirmed which products are orderable on Friday, whether UK buyers can order the same day, or exact shipping dates beyond “December”. Our original report on the Home Collection has Apple’s full UK and US pricing.
