Roman Loyola 认为 Apple 目前的智能家居产品线主要依赖于 HomePod 和 HomeKit，但种类有限，价格偏高，需要拓展更多品类并提升性价比。他认为 Apple 应充分发挥其软件和硬件生态系统优势，例如 Home app、HomeKit Secure Video、个性化 Siri 等，并积极参与 Matter 标准的制定和应用，以提升用户体验和市场竞争力。他还预测 Apple 将推出多款新品，例如类似 iPad 的壁挂式控制中心、室内外 Wi-Fi 摄像头等，并可能推出产品捆绑销售策略。 Jason Cross 认为 Home app 是 Apple 智能家居生态系统的核心，并期待 Apple 推出更完善的控制中心设备，以提升用户体验。 Michael Simon 认为 HomePod 的市场定位更偏向于智能音箱而非控制中心，并指出 Apple 在智能家居摄像头领域落后于竞争对手，需要改进产品策略。
