For all of you desperately waiting for Apple to bring smart cameras and smart doorbells
to market, you’re going to be disappointed. Apple entering these markets makes very
little sense especially if the reasoning is to get more people to use HomeKit instead
of Amazon or Google. The obtainable market is just too small to invest enough capital
in creating the best products in their respective categories.

The more likely play, in my opinion, is that Apple will license their technologies
like Face ID and Siri to vendors already in these markets. It is not much of a stretch
to expect acquisitions of some top vendors like ecobee that already embraced HomeKit.

The one thing we know for sure is that Apple will find a way to surprise and hopefully
delight us with whatever they do.
