A rumor has surfaced that Apple is planning a new category of "second-party" Apple Home accessories, with LG and Schneider reportedly set to be the first partners. The claim was circulated by AppleInsider, which reported on the unconfirmed details.
According to the rumor, a "second-party" partnership table lists ten individual products from LG and Schneider. The reported lineup spans both companies rather than a single device.
