  • It would be based on a program to issue certificates style "Made for iPhone" but for smart home devices.
  • Next Monday we will leave doubts in the Apple keynote.

The Apple platform present on Monday might not be the "big projects" we all think

A few days ago we knew that Apple could be ready to unveil a completely new platform at WWDC 2014 oriented smart home. Home automation is an exciting field of technology, but unfortunately it still sounds too remote. The Cupertino could enter this field with your iPhone and allow domestic control different functions of our home.

 
The lack of information we have about this supposed platform has resulted in many high expectations of us. Apple and smart home, what could go wrong? Unfortunately, everything would be much simpler and less ambitious than we think. According to the latest information, the platform would simply be a new style certification "Made for iPhone" for smart home products synchronize with our iOS devices.

Currently, the "Made for iPhone" certification is granted by all those Apple products and accessories that are related in one way or another with our smartphone. Look this certification in the product box in question warrants this happened quality standards and that under no circumstances could cause damage to our iPhone.


Thus, very similar to what we have described thus work the "big" Apple platform oriented smart home. Here is provided some more information from someone who supposedly knows Apple's plans:

"The entry of Apple in smart homes is not really the great experience I expected. Instead, it is a much simpler program that basically certifies a number of devices on the market or sets that can be launched as certified under the Made for iPhone label. "

The Apple platform would only certify those oriented smart home products released for the iPhone

In addition, this source has also revealed that Apple program would focus more on the connectivity between these devices and the iPhone easily through WiFi or Bluetooth. Applications for control would also not designed by Apple, but the manufacturers would be responsible for doing so.


As we see in iPhone in Canada , it appears that Apple will introduce this platform next Monday at the opening keynote of WWDC 2014, where they could also take the opportunity to unveil a series of new smart devices for our homes developed by third parties under the "Made for iPhone." sticker

What do you think? Have we made too many expectations?
