What could Apple announce for Apple Home at WWDC 2026?

With WWDC just around the corner, I wanted to take a look at what Apple MAY announce for Apple Home, but more importantly, what Apple NEEDS to announce if it wants to take the smart home seriously.

From Siri’s biggest overhaul in almost 15 years and AI powered Shortcuts, through to HomeKit Secure Video improvements, Home Key enhancements, smarter permissions, Ultra Wideband presence detection, HomeOS, and a redesigned Home app, this video explores the features that could transform Apple Home over the next few years.

Some of these ideas are based on reporting from Mark Gurman at Bloomberg, while others come directly from my experience using Apple Home for more than 10 years and the feedback I receive from this community every day.

In this video:

• The future of Siri and Apple Intelligence
• AI generated Shortcuts and Home automations
• Smarter Apple Home experiences powered by context
• CarPlay integration and proactive home control
• HomeKit Secure Video improvements Apple needs to make
• Home Key guest access and temporary digital keys
• Advanced permissions for children and guests
• Ultra Wideband room level presence detection
• Better logs, diagnostics and troubleshooting
• HomeOS rumours and a redesigned Home app
• My complete Apple Home WWDC 2026 wish list
