So, who is the one who knocks now? Move over, #Ring: #Apple is reportedly working on a smart doorbell. ????????

Apple’s doorbell would have advanced facial recognition technology that wirelessly connects to a deadbolt lock. According to a Bloomberg report, the doorbell would unlock the door for people it recognizes, similar to Face ID on the iPhone.

The product is not expected to launch until the end of 2025 at the earliest. #smarthome #smartdoorbell #tech #applerumors #applenews

    People still havent learned their lesson about biolocking their phones, might as well let them have insecure doors too.

    Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about how we live in a time where many people and groups we use to have sympathy for have turned that into an excuse to do the devils work. My shower HomePod said “THAT SONG HAS BEEN ADDED TO YOUR LIBRARY”. Opened my phone and it had added “Sympathy for the devil” by the stones. Now, I kinda like that song so I’m conflicted and didn’t rage but I’m sure this isn’t the first time. I couldn’t see leaving my house security up to that. Let’s get that right first. Could you imagine a thief sneezing and their face contorts to yours briefly enough where Siri invites them in?

    It’ll brick on the first OS update. The temp will be -89° with a blinding blizzard and two suspicious characters have just opened the front gate.
    You go Tim. No, really.

    It won’t be able to fit most doors somehow and they’ll add “pro” on the end because- why not.

    I get the feeling this is going to be a really bad idea.

    I’ve never had to lock my door bell before… they should invent one that unlocks your door

    I guess when the doorbell can’t recognize your face anymore you can just go straight and open the door with your key

Flock Safety sits at the intersection of an increasingly intense debate around the spread of surviellance technology, AI, and who’s using all of that information and to what ends. Founder and CEO Garrett Langley spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to defend his stance that Flock is a net positive in the face of concerns about its work monitoring communities, cities, and enabling data sharing across law enforcement agencies.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast team took over the Builders Stage Tuesday morning to tackle a growing challenge for the AI industry: What happens when AI agents go off-script, and who’s responsible for keeping them in check?

Recent incidents, from Anthropic pulling internal evaluations off the live internet after agents misbehaved to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calling for an “emergency brake” on AI models, have brought agent security into focus. The Equity team unpacked whether the problem calls for better engineering, new regulation, or both, and why startups are raising millions to secure AI agents.
