据彭博社报道，苹果正通过与LG的合作打造一个新的智能家居设备生态系统。
Apple is working on a new ecosystem of smart home devices via a partnership with LG, Bloomberg has reported.
新设备包括智能门锁、恒温器和门铃，旨在与公司即将推出的智能家居中心集成，该中心据报道将于10月13日发布。预计该中心将配备一块6英寸的方形显示屏，可放置在台面上或挂在墙上。
The new devices — which include a smart lock, a thermostat, and a doorbell — are designed to integrate with the company’s smart home hub, another upcoming product that will reportedly launch on Oct. 13th. That hub is expected to include a 6-inch square display that can be placed on a countertop or mounted on a wall.
两家公司还在研发一系列安防摄像头，包括室内、室外和泛光灯型号。LG设备预计最早下周就会发布，即使不正式发售。TechCrunch已向苹果寻求更多信息。
The two companies are also working on a slate of security cameras, including models for indoor, outdoor and a floodlight. The LG devices are expected to be announced, if not formally released, next week, too. TechCrunch reached out to Apple for more information.
有趣的是，据报道这些设备将冠以LG品牌——尽管是由两家公司联合开发。
Interestingly, the devices will reportedly carry the LG brand — despite being developed by both companies.
这些新产品可被视为对亚马逊智能家居产品的有力回击，后者目前提供多种类似产品，包括Ring家庭安防摄像头。
The new products could aptly be read as a swipe at Amazon’s smart home offerings, which currently offers a variety of similar products, including its Ring home security cameras.
苹果近期通过硬件发布寻求拓展新领域，其中之一便是扩大智能家居版图。
Apple has sought to push into new territory with its recent hardware releases. One of those new territories is an expanded smart home presence.
