Reports of a smart doorbell comes after Apple's rumored plans to launch a smart home hub and security camera to compete with Amazon Ring and Google Nest. After cancelling its plans for developing some kind of car, and the lukewarm response to Apple Vision Pro, Gurman says Apple is refocusing its efforts on smart home devices that integrate with its existing product ecosystem.
