Apple could already be playing with the IoT

We know that Apple the super company of Cupertino in California, the United States, since its inception has revolutionized the market with its technology year after year, because this time is not the exception several former workers, have already expressed the company of the manzanita, is experimenting with the IoT through its HomeKit platform.

One of the technologies that most fans Apple fans and technophiles, is the Homekit, where for now they would only scratch the surface of what they could do with their platform and everything they would allow to do at home.

There is a part of these same fans according to the study carried out by 9toMac, who expect Apple to follow in the footsteps of Samsung and create its own producer for the home, but we all know that this vision is very unlikely, but they would still be accessing the market. Internet of things with its HomeKit platform, which is presumed to be the basis for the construction of the interconnection area of ​​various devices.

Independently of the compatible accessories that are chosen the App "Home" would facilitate the configuration and control of all of them, from a single place and in the most intuitive way, just as Apple has accustomed us with all its App and devices.

More than 50 brands from around the world have already committed to being accessible to HomeKit and the number is growing more and more. Not only that but these accessories would be tested and certified by Apple, to avoid security incidents for users of these devices, because there are thousands of cases around the world.

"Everyone who knows Apple knows that they will never create a system of" Apple Sprinklers ", but will make someone else do it and market it under its platform" Express Bradley Chambers who has been part of the external team of Apple developers in the area of ​​education.

Instead of trying to let Apple discover by itself which devices its potential customers want, manufacturers will be able to build specific accessories and then market their products to any user of an Apple product.

The Cupertino company has already built a system that has deep roots in all its products, but even so this platform is still one of the safest that could be in the market, and besides this it would present a fairly simple solution for the final consumer, because the idea is that you can control all your devices from the Home application and the process of adding a new one, be it the most trivial thanks to the iOS operating system.

For everything that HomeKit has contributed to home automation and the Internet of Things, managers have a really difficult time with the IoT, since there is no centralized platform to build that can cover the full potential of the market, there is no many security standards still established by the states, is more and more headache for Apple workers many of these devices work with Java, and there is a native application (at least for now) to update the iOS operating system every time Java is updated, this has been shown to "completely break the system"

"It's terrible to try to configure the software since it seems created in 2003."

IoT is an ecosystem that the only way it presents now is to continue growing and expanding. By 2020 experts have estimated that there will be 25,000 million devices that will be able to access this interconnection network of things.

IoT devices are generally cheap, difficult to administer, difficult to protect and are rarely updated. That is why Apple has tried to address the issue very carefully, although all the rumors indicate that Apple could have found a solution to all the problems that currently presents the technology.
