Apple's doorbell would have advanced facial recognition technology that wirelessly connects to a deadbolt lock, according to a Bloomberg report. The doorbell would unlock the door for people it recognizes, functioning similarly to Face ID on the iPhone. The product is not expected to launch until the end of 2025 at the earliest.

The claim that Apple is working on a smart doorbell and other home devices comes after a report on Dec. 15, also via Mark Gurman, claimed that Apple was working on a giant foldable iPad for a 2028 launch. The new iPad was described as “akin to a giant iPad that unfolds into the size of two iPad Pros side-by-side.”

Apple's push for smart home devices might include a smart doorbell. According to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a doorbell with facial recognition technology that would wirelessly connect to a deadbolt lock and unlock the door for its residents, like Face ID for iPhone.
