Apple Is Coming for the Smart Home — And Fast
Apple’s rumored Face-ID door lock and smart display hub are more than just new products. It’s a clear signal: they’re going all-in on smart home automation.
The tech giant is doubling down on the smart home, the $158B industry that’s growing 23% annually.
And with Apple’s entry, investors are looking for the next breakout company - and potential acquisition target.
They’re chasing Google (acquired Nest, $3.2B) and Amazon (acquired Ring, $1.2B).
History shows: when Apple plays catch-up, they go big.
And there’s one startup perfectly positioned to benefit.
With 10+ patents, distribution in over 100 Best Buy stores, and a Home Depot launch in 2025, RYSE is built for a breakout.
Early investors in Ring and Nest saw life-changing returns.
Now, RYSE is open at just $1.90/share.
