These devices debut at the "Welcome Home" event in New York City on Oct 13. While Apple manages the core hub and speakers, LG manufactures second-party accessories, including a doorbell, deadbolt lock, thermostat, and security cameras. These LG-branded products have appeared in FCC filings but will not ship for several months. News of the partnership previously triggered a stock slide for rival firms, including Arlo Technologies, which fell 8.7%, and Resideo, which dropped 7.4%.

Pre-orders for the new lineup open this week, with a redesigned Apple TV featuring an A19 chip and a HomePod mini powered by an S10 chip shipping Oct 30. The HomeView hub utilizes an A18 chip and runs a limited set of company-developed applications instead of a third party App Store, placing Siri and accessory integration at the center of the experience.
