September 11, 2026Apple event and no home hardware + Apple Intelligence camera Limits revealed & IFA 2026
Welcome back to Everything Apple Home.
There was no episode last week because I was over in Berlin covering IFA, but we’re back this week with plenty to talk about.
Apple’s September event has now taken place and, unfortunately, there was no new Apple Home hardware. Apple has also confirmed the iCloud+ requirements for its new Apple Intelligence camera features, and I’ve got a quick roundup of some of the best Apple Home devices I saw at IFA.

August 14, 2026iOS 27 Beta 5 Reveals Possible Apple Intelligence Camera Costs
iOS 27 Developer Beta 5 has revealed some interesting details about how Apple could limit its new Apple Intelligence camera features depending on your iCloud+ plan.
We look at the camera limits currently appearing in the beta, with the 2TB iCloud+ plan appearing to support Apple Intelligence features on five cameras, increasing as additional iCloud storage is added.
Importantly, this appears to be a limit specifically affecting the new Apple Intelligence camera features rather than Apple’s existing HomeKit Secure Video recording limits — and with iOS 27 still in beta, none of these limits have been officially confirmed as final.
Plus, eufy launches the new Solar Wall Light Cam S4, combining a 4K security camera, solar charging and outdoor lighting with Apple Home support through HomeBase 3.
