iOS 27 includes significant hints pointing towards the upcoming launch of an all-new Apple Home product: a security camera. This aligns with previous rumors about Apple entering the home security market.

New features within iOS 27, specifically enhancements to HomeKit Secure Video, strongly suggest the device is nearing its release. These upgrades include 4K video support, generated video descriptions, search capabilities within clips, and noteworthy clip highlighting. Previously, HomeKit Secure Video has seen minimal updates since 2019.

The timing and prioritization of these HomeKit Secure Video improvements in iOS 27 indicate Apple is preparing its own hardware. The rumored camera is expected to feature facial recognition and infrared sensors, enabling advanced home automation scenarios. This suggests a potential launch alongside other anticipated Apple Home products, such as a new Apple TV 4K and HomePods, as part of a busy fall season.
