Apple will unveil a new 'Smart Home' software platform at its Worldwide Developer Conference next week, reports the Financial Times.

Apple plans to take on rivals Google and Samsung and make a “big play” in the world of smart home technology at its Worldwide Developer Conference on June 2 in San Francisco, according to people familiar with the matter.

The platform would turn the iPhone into a remote control for lights, security systems, and other household appliances. The system will let users easily set up and control new 'smart home' devices. For example, your iPhone could signal that you've arrived home, automatically turning on the lights.

Apple has reportedly been talking to a select group of smart device manufacturers whose products will be certified to work with the new system. The idea is similar to Apple's 'Made for iPhone' program but will apparently have a new brand name and logo.

The smart devices and software platform will be featured in Apple's retail stores. The company already sells many smart home products such as the Nest thermostat, Dropcam camera, Philips Hue lightbulbs, Belkin WeMo light switches, and more.

Apple is holding its WWDC 2014 keynote on June 2nd at 10AM. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or RSS for updates.

Wait a minute, they cannot get their iphone together, and they are good at stealing and overcharging people for crappy electronics, and they want to go where the big boys business, in the real electronics world. Like too see them try to make a refrigerator or a smart TV. Apple it's fool of drop outs and idiots, they have to hire a hacker to get their ios working like it should be, and now this. Apple-Crapple. They are still trying to come up with a smart watch, and nothing is happening.

What we can't get together are ideas. We are good at gimmicks and tricking innocents into crimping up apartments into dust and turning plastic unstable toys into bombs, that proves where galaxy got the name, we are only smart at that, not only that it proves why our souls are considered the black hole where every samsheep baby crawled out of trying to mistaken every last shit they spew in an innocent world. iPhones aren't that terrible compared to a real theif that even tried to mirror the name of a real winner. It's us screwing the world up. Now we got more bull turd coming up like android in the car and catch up to iWatch like we all did waiting for other stuff in order to continue to play catch up, out only strategy and for now I can admit reality's word, still though we were too tired of them beating us before we bit dust again, yet what chance did we have anyway? Samsung and it's zombie minded lumps wasting unstable plastic toys and arguments and tattle-tellers for all the baby process and still can't figure out NSA sucking up androids core which also explains the color, nothing but mold minded malware like it's a show off, which clearly explained as samsung-samshit since the beginning, it may be a survivor but can't face truth like their defensive dipshits, the wang gang, and now they're still giving up their last hopes and still nothing chances whether samshit rushes acting like flash are wait the last millisecond to catch up on innovation homework, or as it always was, innowait.
