Summary
Reddit user pdfu found hints hidden in the HomeView 27.2 code that Apple could be adding security camera features to its smart home hub. Supposedly, the video feeds will only be visible to members of the home, and will both show an indicator light and play a sound when either someone is watching the camera feed or when it starts to record. Some wondered why Apple did not allow HomeView to double as a security camera at launch, and the company hasn’t said anything to suggest the features are coming. New Zelda and GTA represent a games industry that no longer exists.
