If you are just getting started with Apple Home, it is easy to waste money on the wrong smart home products. In this video, I break down the 7 Apple Home categories you should actually buy first, based on 10 years of real-world use and 6 years reviewing devices. No hype, no paid opinions, just what genuinely works day to day. From Apple TV as your smart home hub, to smart locks, lighting, and robot vacuums… these are the products that actually make a difference. And just to be clear… this video is not sponsored. Everything here is based on real experience, not what brands want you to hear.
