AirTag, Apple TV 4K, new product launches, and listener questions on HomeKit Insider

HomeKit Insider: A new AppleInsider podcast

We've all examined the major launches at Apple's "Spring Loaded" event, but now let's dig deeper into the new Apple TV 4K, the updated Siri Remote, and even AirTag.

Outside of the Apple Event we discuss the new VOCOlinc Door Lock, the release of the Belkin Stage Scene Controller, and the looming launch of CHIP.

The Netatmo Smart Outdoor Camera also received an update this past week to enable HomeKit Secure Video. The Smart Video Doorbell update will be landing soon, too, though no date was promised.

Last week the Smartmi P1 launched but some issues postponed the delay. Smartmi is now relaunching the device and offering $40 if you use promo code CLEANAIR40 through May 2, 2021.
