For more than a decade, Apple has told other companies to build smart home devices for its platform. This week, Apple launched its own. The Apple Home Collection is a lineup of cameras, thermostats, sensors, a smart door lock, and a video doorbell, all codeveloped with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. They arrive alongside HomeView, Apple’s first smart display. Even after 12 years of HomeKit, Apple’s smart home ecosystem still feels underdeveloped, especially compared to the competition. Amazon’s and Google’s ecosystems support more products, and both have popular in-house brands: Ring and Nest. Apple had nothing of its own to point customers to as an Apple experience — and now it does. But why now? And does Apple actually add anything new here, or is this mostly packaging? At Apple’s “Welcome home” event in New York this week, I spoke with Kaiann Drance, vice president of product marketing for home at Apple, about the company’s new approach to the smart home and what this means for Apple’s commitment to Matter, the interoperable open smart home standard it helped found. [Image: Apple’s HomeView is viewed as a gateway to bring people into the smart home. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/LR6B6061.jpeg?quality=90&strip=all] Why now? Drance says the big reason was the development of the right technologies. The first was Matter, which provided the ecosystem. The second was AI, which brought a more conversational Siri voice assistant. Both were necessary to create a dedicated home device in HomeView. “With the magic of Siri AI, it comes together in a way that we haven’t been able to deliver before,” Drance says. “That’s been a really critical piece of bringing this all together.” The bigger play here is HomeView as a gateway to the smart home for Apple’s users. Buy one for playing music, guided cooking recipes, and checking your calendar, and you might soon want a camera or smart lock to go with it. Drance says they’ve seen that once people try a single smart device and find it easier than they expected, it “unlocks this delightful understanding of what’s possible once you bring these products into the home.” She argues that most people just don’t know what a smart home can do. She’s not wrong. The biggest barrier to buying smart devices is that people don’t see any value in the products, according to research from Parks Associates. Privacy and security concerns and complexity also rank high, along with cost. While Apple isn’t addressing the cost concern here — the products start at $200 — the other elements are part of its pitch: one-tap setup, your data stays yours, one app to run it all. Apple’s stamp of approval also carries a lot of weight. “People who own Apple products are very, very loyal, and there is a large user base,” says Elizabeth Parks, president and CMO at Parks Associates. [Image: Several Apple Home Collection products: LG smart door lock, indoor camera and video doorbell, and a Schneider Electric thermostat. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/Apple-Home-Collection-lineup.png?quality=90&strip=all] From a choose-your-own adventure to a tailored solution Until now, Apple Home has been a bit like a buffet: You can pick from any brand that supports HomeKit or Matter and hope it all goes together. The Home Collection is more like the chef’s choice, a short list of dishes Apple promises will pair well. Drance says that’s what some customers were asking for. “There is a lot of choice with Matter, and there’s a lot of great products out there,” she says. “But sometimes we do get asked, ‘Hey, what product should I put in the home?’” Rather than build devices itself, Apple chose to codevelop the lineup with partners that “have their own expertise in the home.” Both have a global footprint and home experience, she says, “LG more so in consumer products, Schneider through home build and home installations.” Drance says it was a ground-up collaboration with Apple bringing “the design aesthetic that would be suitable for the home and suitable to go with our family of products.” The company is also partnering with ADT through Apple retail stores to help people install the devices. Drance says setup and ease of use were a big focus. “The one-tap setup was really important to make it so easy, having no need for a separate account, no need for a separate app,” she says. “We just wanted that simplicity to be at its core, and of course, the privacy that we’ve developed together with our partners.” She says everything integrates through Apple Home; you don’t need to create an LG or Schneider account, and all data is end-to-end encrypted, so only you can access it. Drance was clear that the Apple Home Collection isn’t replacing the buffet — the hardware ecosystem that has grown up around Apple Home. “We still have this incredible ecosystem with Matter, and with Works with Apple Home, that is going to remain,” she says. “We know that homes are not a one-size-fits-all solution, so our customers will continue to have that choice, and we remain committed to building that ecosystem as well.” The hardware mostly backs that up. The lock, thermostats, and sensors are Matter-compatible; the lock supports Aliro and works entirely locally, and every device supports Thread. The exception is the cameras, which use Apple’s HomeKit Secure Video, not Matter. That’s the biggest lock-in. I was surprised Apple didn’t announce Matter camera support. But the Thread radios suggest the hardware might be Matter-ready, and Apple may be waiting for the Matter camera standard to support encrypted uploads, something HKSV already does. So, what’s the benefit? Does the Home Collection do anything other Apple Home devices can’t? In theory, no; in practice, yes. “What we’ve done with Apple Home Collection is we’ve added another layer on top of that, that deeper integration,” says Drance. There aren’t features exclusive to the Home Collection; it’s more that Apple is saying all the features will be here. It’s a bit like Google making a Pixel phone to show Android developers what Android can do: Apple’s products come with the full suite of capabilities the platform offers. "“The one-tap setup was really important to make it so easy, having no need for a separate account, no need for a separate app.”" - Kaiann Drance, Apple According to Apple, setup is as simple as tapping your iPhone to the device, like pairing AirPods, with no extra account or app needed and no scanning required. Every device uses Thread to stay connected if Wi-Fi drops, and Apple says each can update its own network credentials when you change your Wi-Fi. This could address the offline-device problems that plague Apple Home. Everything is end-to-end encrypted, and the cameras keep recording to onboard storage if your Wi-Fi drops. The devices also support Apple Home features other manufacturers have been slow to adopt. The LG lock is only the third to offer hands-free Home Key unlocking over UWB, and both thermostats work with Apple’s Clean Energy Guidance and Adaptive Temperature, which adjusts around your location and sleep schedule. At least that’s the promise. We’ll have to test these devices to see how well they deliver. [Image: The LG door lock and video doorbell pair in the Apple Home app so you can unlock the door when you see who is at the door. https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/Apple-Home-Collection-lifestyle-01.png?quality=90&strip=all] A curated garden path Together, Apple’s new devices form a polished, cohesive starter kit for the smart home — albeit an expensive one. The cameras, lock, and thermostats cost $200 to $400, and camera history requires an iCloud Plus plan. As Drance said, the smart home isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, so this won’t work for everybody. If you already have a Ring doorbell or Google Nest Hub, this probably isn’t for you. Instead, Apple is trying to guide its existing customers who haven’t bought a video doorbell or smart lock yet down a curated path into the smart home. However, Apple faces a tougher challenge in the broader market: It’s arriving late. The smart display category is already mature; millions of homes have Echo and Google smart displays. Millions more have Ring or Nest doorbells, neither of which will work with HomeView at launch. As a smart home platform, Apple Home ranks third in adoption, behind Google, with Amazon holding a big lead, according to Parks Associates research. But customer loyalty to those platforms isn’t guaranteed. Four in five smart-home households would consider switching, Parks says, especially if another platform lets them control everything in one place. “Interoperability will be critical, but the bigger prize is owning the consumer relationship,” she says. With its Home Collection, Apple isn’t reinventing the smart home; it’s trying to make it easier to get into one.来源 1

After this horrific crash involving a Tesla driver who said he was asleep and using the driver assist mode, the California Highway Patrol warns that “Despite its name, full self-driving is not fully autonomous. Technology does not relieve drivers of their responsibility to safely operate their vehicles.” Video released by CHP shows the Tesla speeding past flares, cones, and emergency lights where officers were on the scene of an earlier accident, before ramming into the back of a parked patrol vehicle. CHP says two officers were seriously injured in the accident and taken to a hospital. [Media: https://twitter.com/CHP_HQ/status/2110891072620556448] [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qMjs2JLAyg] Following numerous collisions with parked emergency vehicles, NHTSA launched an investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot software in 2021. It eventually issued a report finding the driver-assist features didn’t do enough to keep drivers engaged, linking them to hundreds of crashes and dozens of deaths when both the system and driver failed to respond. Tesla released an update for Autopilot in 2023 adding more controls and alerts to prompt drivers to be in full control of the car when Autosteer is enabled, but NHTSA then had to open another investigation into whether those changes went far enough.来源 1

A crude oil tanker carrying 15 Indian crew members was struck by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, the country's minister of ports, shipping and waterways said. Sarbananda Sonowal said that all the Indian citizens on the vessel, the MT ST 3, were safe and not injured. "We are continuously monitoring both situations and remain in close contact with the ship management companies to ensure the ongoing security and wellbeing of our crew members," he said on X. Earlier this month, the Indian government condemned an attack on a vessel owned by Dubai shipping company Onex that was struck by a projectile in the strait. Twelve crew members on the MT On Peace were injured in the attack, including 11 Indians, according to a statement from the Indian Ministry of External Affairs. And on Thursday, a Singapore-registered container ship caught fire and sank in the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by an unidentified projectile. All 21 crew on board the GFS Pride were evacuated safely and no injuries were reported, Singapore's maritime authority has said. The incidents highlight how the US-Iran war has escalated risks to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies. Attacks on vessels transiting the waterway have surged to a record high, with at least two ships sunk. The strikes attributed to Iran have caused crude oil prices to skyrocket, with prices above $100 a barrel in the US. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has used drones, missiles and sea mines in the strait to choke off exports and drive up oil prices in a bid to exert economic pressure on the US.来源 3

Another topic at the heart of our competitiveness is trade imbalances. We focused on EU-China economic relations and trade, including the imbalances, and there is remarkable unity among leaders on this. We all agree that China is an important trade partner for the EU. We want this partnership to be fair, balanced and mutually beneficial. But that requires substantial rebalancing – and fast. In 2025, our trade deficit with China was one billion euro per day. In 2026, it will be even higher. This is structural, and it is unsustainable. We all agree that it cannot go on. We need to act on three different pillars. First, we act through dialogue. But dialogue must deliver. The consultations in Beijing have delivered first results: China's first ever agreement to moderate its exports of hybrid vehicles; better market access for several EU industrial and agri-food exports; and more predictability on export controls, in particular for rare earths and magnets.来源 1

Let me now move to the two topics discussed today. I will start with Ukraine. President Zelenskyy participated this morning, and it was a good discussion. Our support matters more than ever, with Russia testing Ukraine's resilience and endangering its economy. First, on defence, we are accelerating support for Ukraine's most urgent needs. The Ukraine Support Loan is delivering. We have disbursed almost EUR 16 billion under the defence leg of the loan. Second, we continue to support Ukraine's budget. A further EUR 17 billion can still be disbursed before the end of the year. Provided Ukraine delivers the necessary reforms. Europe is doing a lot. But the reality is simple, as long as this war continues, Ukraine's financing needs will keep growing. Right now, the EU and its Member States account for 80 % of external aid to Ukraine. And we will continue to lead, but we urgently need other partners to step up. At the same time, we are engaging with Ukraine and the United States in discussions on how to end the war. President Zelenskyy briefed leaders on the latest developments. As throughout these five years of war, no one wants peace more than the people of Ukraine.

We have had a long and dense European Council. Let me touch on some of the main topics, starting with European competitiveness and I will go straight into energy. Households and industry are paying the price for a war far beyond our borders. Since the start of the war in the Middle East, costs for imported fossil fuel have risen by EUR 106 billion, without a single additional molecule of energy. Gas prices have risen around 140% since late February, and diesel prices have doubled. This is the reality we have to deal with today – knowing there is no silver bullet because the Member States all have different energy mixes, we need a whole puzzle of actions. So, we need to act both at global and European level. Six points: the release of 100 million barrels of oil and diesel over the next four months, the International Energy Agency is starting to manage this release. The extension in scope and time of our temporary State Aid Framework that we put in place in February. The postponement of the implementation of the Methane Regulation by one year. The launch of a strategic dialogue on European refineries, mainly to work on having more refineries in the EU and lower the prices. We will upgrade our taskforce that is aggregating the demand and so far doing matchmaking, but now we want the taskforce to work in a way that they task a market operator to go to the global market and buy the necessary energy sources with the full market power of aggregation of the European Union. This is in the short term.来源 1

For the mid-term: as long as Europe depends on imported oil and gas, our prosperity remains exposed to events beyond our control. This is why it is so important to stay the course of the transition that is a transition towards affordable, clean and homegrown energy source's - nuclear and renewables. We must change the way we consume energy, that is replacing foreign fossil fuels by electricity produced in Europe. And we must modernise and improve our grids network. The cheap energy has to go where it is needed. Last year, we installed 80 gigawatts of renewable capacity, but six times more capacity is still waiting to be connected. The potential to improve the grids and the network is enormous. That is why it is so important to finalise the Grids Package. Finally, a word on carbon pricing – the Emission Trading System (ETS). In July, the Commission delivered on its proposal to modernize ETS 1 – which is now with the co-legislators. The leaders gave strategic guidance to the Ministers and underlined the urgency to conclude the file.来源 1

And that brings me now to MFF. This budget was explicitly designed to address our priorities, and I refer to priorities that have been discussed in each and every EUCO over the last seven years. Leaders in every EUCO came out and asked for more Europe on these priorities. No one questions what needs to be done, but how to achieve these priorities was the centre of our discussion.来源 1
PARIS (FRANCE) - President Emmanuel Macron called for calm on the eve of nationwide cost-of-living protests Saturday that authorities fear could lead to a violent escalation of weeks of student demonstrations.来源 1
原文位置 211–4139
With the rallies promising a fraught six month run-in to the country's presidential election, Paris authorities banned protests in the heart of the capital.The country's Yellow Vest movement, which eight years ago staged street protests against Macron's government, called Saturday's "yellow and youth" demonstrations.It has appealed to teachers and students, workers, pensioners and farmers to take part."We're expecting a pretty big turnout," Interior Minister Laurent Nunez told France 2 television. A police source told AFP that authorities estimated nearly 200,000 people could take part, with 40,000 in Paris.Macron called "for calm and respect". In Brussels for European Union talks, he added the right to protest went hand in hand with "respect for people and property".Macron this week said he believed the "legitimate" demands of the students were being "exploited for political purposes", according to a government spokeswoman.The unrest has been seized upon by France's far-left and far-right parties.Jean-Luc Melenchon, leader of the far-left France Unbowed party, has backed the student protests and marched in one demonstration Tuesday supporting them.Marine Le Pen, who leads in presidential election opinion polls, has positioned her National Rally party on the side of the police.The prospect of the student protests merging with public anger over the cost-of-living could weigh heavily on Macron's government ahead of the two-round election in April and May.- Yellow Vest resurgence -"I have a feeling that (Saturday) will be a sort of culmination," 18-year-old Marie-Lou, a protesting university student in the city of Lille, told AFP."We'll be joined by workers and by the Yellow Vests, who are also mobilising again. There's a sense of hope that all these different struggles might converge."Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has ordered a crisis cell to monitor the demonstrations. On Thursday he said he feared clashes after what he called "urban violence" during the student protests.Lecornu is attempting to get parliament to pass a cost-cutting budget, while protesters are demanding greater protection from inflation and more spending on public services, particularly education.- Anger at police -There is also public anger at perceived police brutality during the student protests. Several teenage protesters have been seriously injured and thousands arrested."It's not just a Yellow Vest movement, it's not just a student movement, it's all the people who are rising up and that's why those in power are afraid," said Benjamin Ball, an activist working on a website for Saturday's demonstrations.Organisers of Saturday's demonstrations have set up a website showing more than 600 demonstrations planned across France. Authorities and demonstrators were preparing for possible violence.Paris police chief Patrice Faure banned demonstrations around the Elysee presidential palace, the prime minister's office, and the Champs-Elysees shopping avenue, among other key locations.Police also banned a major march through the heart of the capital and negotiations with organisers over an alternative route failed to reach agreement. The main Paris demonstration was to kick off at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) at the Republique square and head to northern Paris.Nunez told France 2 that officers could use stun grenades in case of "extremely serious urban violence". He had suspended their use during the student protests after one stun grenade blew off the hand of a 15-year-old."Disturbances are expected, especially in the demonstrations in Paris and other big cities," an interior ministry official told AFP on condition of anonymity, citing a risk of violence from "the ultra-left movement"."Actions blocking major roads or large, essential facilities will not be tolerated," the official said.Demonstrators have set up their own smartphone app giving the real-time location of police, tear gas and helicopters.来源 1
On migration, Denmark, Italy and Poland led a determined effort to harden the EU’s position, proposing tweaks to the summit’s conclusions that would have explicitly linked irregular migration to crime rates and branded the phenomenon a threat to the cohesion of European societies.来源 2

The proposal, which ultimately won support from a group of around 10 countries including Hungary, according to two EU diplomats, also indirectly took aim at Spain, where Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s decision to regularize some 1 million irregular migrants has sparked clashes with Italy’s Giorgia Meloni and Denmark’s Mette Frederiksen.来源 2

Today, I presented three priorities: first, we need to put all our efforts into the full implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum, with responsibility and solidarity going hand in hand. Important progress was made but efforts need to continue. Second, we need to strengthen the management and protection of our external borders. We will propose to reinforce Frontex, giving it the capacity to support Member States whenever and wherever needed. Third, we must be better prepared for crisis at our external borders. Because we see a new phenomenon of states and non-state actors engineering sudden or mass movements of people with a clear goal: to overwhelm authorities, cause panic, divide us. Such situations are emergencies and they call for emergency tools. This is why we, as a Commission, will propose a new European Emergency Response Framework. It will equip Member States with the means to respond swiftly to serious threats at our external borders and protect our internal security. Our message is clear: we will always uphold our values and fundamental rights, but we will never compromise on protecting our borders. We will now work closely with Member States and come forward with the framework by the end of the year.来源 1
