The arrangement allows Apple to expand its ecosystem without shouldering the full cost and complexity of producing and supporting such accessories.
Apple’s upcoming push into smart home devices will include a doorbell, thermostat and other accessories developed through an unusual partnership with LG Electronics. The products will be part of an ecosystem of devices that work with Apple’s new smart home hub, as well as an upgraded HomePod mini and fresh TV set-top box, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
