Apple is reportedly working on a new smart doorbell camera that uses Face ID to unlock your door Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman in today’s Turn on newsletter. The camera could come onto the market “at the earliest” at the end of 2025, writes Gurman.

The lock works just like your iPhone and automatically unlocks your door when you or another resident looks at it. Like biometric credentials on other Apple devices, the camera would be equipped with the company’s Secure Enclave chip, which stores and processes Face ID information separately from the rest of the system hardware.

Gurman writes that this device will “likely” work with existing third-party HomeKit smart locks and that the company may also work with a smart lock company “to offer a complete system from day one.” He expects the camera to use Apple’s in-house “Proxima” combination Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, which is rumored to be used on new HomePod Mini and Apple TV devices next year.

This doorbell camera joins a broader collection of rumors about Apple’s renewed foray into the smart home, with Apple Intelligence at the center. These include another new smart home camera, a possible Apple-branded TV, and new smart home displays – one is a simple iPad-like device that attaches magnetically to wall mounts or speaker stands, while another display is at the end of one Robot arm is attached to a larger base.
