I think an Apple (read integrated, user friendly) solution to internet of things could be more imminent, and interesting.
One of the draw back of the current solution for IoT is connecting different eco systems, such as GE light bulb to Amazon Echo. If apple have a solution that is elegant and 'just works', i'd be interested in that
- macintux 8y agoApple already has a smart home initiative; what am I missing? There were early complaints that Apple was making too many demands on manufacturers with regards to security, but given the utter shitshow that is IoT these days, it sure seems like it was a good idea.
- yuy910616 8y agoNo missing anything :) Didn't know they already have one.
- macintux 8y agoI'm sure there's another level they could take it to. Here's HomeKit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeKit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HomeKit
- TheOtherHobbes 8y agoYou're missing a range of Apple smart home products - and so is everyone else, because they don't exist. Apple could have killed it in this space. The development costs would have been relatively low, and there was a wide-open goal with the possibility of much-improved security and privacy, high quality industrial design, AI, and yet more links to Apple devices, as well as providing a home network foundation for future products such as health monitoring devices. Instead Apple handed the market over to 3rd parties and... not much of interest happened with HomeKit.
