Apple starts taking orders for three LG Home Collection devices
Apple's store now sells LG's video doorbell and two cameras for mid-December delivery; the lock and floodlight wait.
Hardware · Macfolio · 14 November 2026
Apple's online store started taking orders on Friday, November 13, 2026, for the first Apple Home Collection accessories. Only three LG products can be ordered so far, and Apple's U.S. store pages show delivery estimates of December 14 to December 18 for each as of Saturday morning.
What you can order now
These are the accessories with delivery dates on Apple's store:
- LG Video Doorbell Wired: $249.95, Essence Silver or Essence Graphite, powered by existing 16 to 24V doorbell wiring
- LG Indoor Cam Plug-in: $199.95, Essence White
- LG Outdoor Cam Plug-in: $299.95, Essence Silver or Essence Graphite
The LG Floodlight Cam ($399.95) and LG Smart Deadbolt Lock ($349.95) are listed but marked currently unavailable. The LG Smart Thermostat ($199.95) appears with no delivery date. When Apple announced the lineup on October 13, it said availability would begin in December, with select accessories following in early 2027, and listed the cameras for the U.S., Canada and the UK.
What you need before buying
The cameras are built around Apple Home rather than an LG app. Apple says setup starts with one tap from an iPhone, and that Home app data is end-to-end encrypted so LG and Apple cannot read it. To get the most from them you need:
- An Apple home hub, such as HomeView, HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K
- An iCloud+ plan for 10 days of event video history
- An eligible iCloud+ plan for Apple Intelligence clip descriptions and natural language search
Apple's store also notes that products not bearing the Apple brand are serviced by their manufacturer, and Apple's Limited Warranty does not apply. Support for these will come from LG.
This does not mean the full lineup is shipping this year. The lock and floodlight have no dates, and Apple has not said when they will be orderable.
Our take: the doorbell and cameras are the least risky place to start, since they mostly replace an existing doorbell or plug into an outlet. Anyone planning a front-door setup around the lock should wait until it actually ships.
Caveats: delivery estimates change with demand, and availability outside the U.S. may differ by store.
