"Inside an Apple smart home"Quote:
Apple is racing against Amazon and Google to try get the masses to adopt the smart home. Unlike Amazon and Google, Apple isn’t manufacturing its own devices — with the exception of the Apple TV that acts as a hub. Instead, it’s mostly relying on third-party manufacturers to make their devices compatible with its HomeKit system, and then unite all of those devices through a deep integration with iOS via the Home app.

Apple updates its smart home to catch up to Amazon and Google
Jun 30, 2020

Apple announced important updates for its digital assistant Siri, the HomeKit smart home platform and the HomePod smart speaker at the company's developer conference. Here's a look at the state of Apple's smart home following the updates.
We also grade each announcement on its excitement factor from 1 to 5. Apple didn't give us the hardware we were hoping for, but it did maintain a foundation of privacy while slowly but surely gaining ground. Perhaps it's doomed to remain in third place in the smart home, but Apple could be a sleeping giant, still putting the pieces together.
