Leaked Photos Show LG’s Apple Home Cameras. Code in iOS 27.2 Names Schneider Electric Too.

Apple Home app graphic representing Apple's smart home platform

Two leakers moved the Apple and LG home story along today, and Apple had nothing to do with it. Mark Gurman reported yesterday that Apple co-developed a line of home accessories with LG that will ship under LG's name. Today an X account called @ringo_tech posted images of four of them, and the leaker pdfu found code in iOS 27.2 that labels two Schneider Electric products the same way Apple's code labels the LG gear.

The photos will get the attention. The Schneider line in the code is the part I keep rereading. "Second-party" is Apple's own label inside its HomeKit database, and right now only the LG accessories and those two Schneider products carry it. The label reportedly means those accessories get special treatment from the operating system, which would put them in a tier between Apple's own hardware and the HomeKit gear anyone can build.

Apple’s Smart Home Push Reportedly Comes With LG’s Name on the Box

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Smart Home, Rumors,

Apple smart home devices reportedly co-developed with LG

Apple's smart home plan is reportedly bigger than one hub, and a good chunk of it says LG on the box. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple worked with LG on a set of home accessories (a video doorbell, a deadbolt lock, a thermostat, indoor and outdoor cameras and a floodlight cam) that LG will sell under its own brand. The trail runs through LG's own regulatory paperwork, filed with the FCC and UL Solutions. Apple has confirmed none of it.

Seven accessories at once is a catalog. Apple spends years on one hub while a partner fills in the liability-heavy parts of a smart home: the thing bolted to your front door, the camera on your porch, the box wired into your furnace. If you have been waiting for Apple to care about your house beyond a speaker and a TV stick, this is roughly what that would look like.

Bleeding Edge TV 580: LG G5 Camera Review: Best Smartphone Camera?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, Features, Podcasts, Product Reviews, Videocasts, Videos,

In this LG G5 camera review, you'll find out why I think the LG G5 is the best smartphone camera available right now. This is a follow-up to the LG G5 Review that I published a few weeks ago, which if you haven't seen, you should check out.

The LG G5 features a dual-camera system, with one 16 megapixel camera with 75-degree field of view, along with an 8 megapixel wide angle  shooter with a 135-degree field of view. You get full access to both modules for photos and video, and I give you examples of what each can do so you can see for yourself.

All video and image content is taken directly off of the LG G5 smartphone with no filters or effects added.

You can pick up the LG G5 now.

Bleeding Edge TV 578: LG G5 First Impressions Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Podcasts, Product Reviews, Videocasts, Videos,

The LG G5 is one of the most exciting smartphone releases of 2016. Introduced at Mobile World Congress, LG has switched up its strategy by giving the G5 a bunch of modular functionality. The battery can be quickly removed, and replaced with a better camera add-on with the LG Cam Plus, improved audio with the LG Hi-Fi Plus, and more.

Another big feature on the LG G5 is the dual rear cameras. You get a 16 megapixel camera alongside an 8 megapixel wide angle camera with a 135 degree field of view. The 5.3-inch display features always-on technology, so you can quickly glance at it and see the time, date, and any notifications without having to touch the phone.

The LG G5 ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, which means that the software is just as up to date as the hardware experience. You can pick up the LG G5 and Friends modules starting in April (no solid LG G5 release date has been provided just yet.)

You can pick up the LG G5 now.

LG G4 hands-on first impressions

LG G4 review

When looking at the overall landscape of smartphones in the US, most casual conversation is dominated by talk of Apple’s iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy S—currently that means the iPhone 6 and the Galaxy S6. The thing is, though, that there are other great phones out there that deserve to be a part of the conversation. Last year, my favorite Android phone was the LG G3, and I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on the successor ever since LG announced it.

As most know, I’m one of the rare people who owns multiple smartphones. I didn’t need the LG G4, but I definitely wanted it. LG sent one over, and I’ve been enjoying the process of learning all the ins and outs of the superb camera. If you’re unfamiliar, LG did a great job differentiating the camera on the G4. It’s got fantastic performance in low light situations thanks to the f/1.8 aperture, and sports a manual mode with 15 settings and over 135 options for configuring the camera to capture just the right shot. Pair that with the laser autofocus that gets things looking great in an instant, and the ability to capture RAW images and you have a winner. Super cool.

Samsung curved 4k uhd tv

Television manufacturers like Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio are betting big on 2015 being a breakout year for Ultra HD 4K televisions. If you’re unfamiliar, 4K TVs deliver video content at 2160p. That’s 3840×2160 pixels, which means it’s hitting you with 4x the resolution of the 1080p (1920x1080 pixels) set you’re likely already used to. Streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, and YouTube are already pumping out 4K content, with more to come. It all may sound great, but it’s really something you need to see for yourself to believe—luckily, Best Buy is ready to give you that up-close and personal look.
