The rumors surrounding Apple continue to persist steadily, especially with an eye on a series of new products that could be presented this month. It is a clear signal that Apple may want to expand its efforts within the Smart Home sector. With recent changes in management, now under the leadership of John Ternus, there are not only new hardware expectations but also speculations about a renewed strategy to optimize existing product lines.
