According to a Wednesday report by Mark Gorman of Bloomberg, Apple wants a large place in your home. Although you can mainly think of Apple as iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, MacBook, Air Pods and more makers, Tech giant allegedly expects you to use artificial intelligence to sell numerous new smart home devices. These devices may include a tabletop robot, home security camera and a screen smart speaker.
An Apple representative did not immediately respond to a comment request.
Tabletop Robot
According to Bloomberg, the center of the project is a Tabletop Robot, which is allegedly coming in 2027. Bloomberg – and CNET have already reported the project before. At that time, there were two concepts in the company’s mind: a robot that could rotate around the house and a tabletop robotic device.
Now, Bloomberg says the robot “Siri’s lifetime version and the ability to engage with users throughout the day.” It is reportedly resembled a member of a dynamic organ that can change yourself to face.
Former CNET senior editor Lisa Edico wrote in 2024 that “when it comes to home robots, the biggest challenge is that the market is unreasonable.” We have all seen a robot maid Rosie on the old Jettin cartoon, but do we really need or want a robotic helper in our homes?
Standstone Smart Display
Another item is allegedly working Apple is basically a smart speaker with a screen. Bloomberg has called it a “stripped down version of the robot”.
It will not have robotic arm or conversation, but it should be able to work like music playbacks, notes, household devices and video conferencing. Bloomberg says it will run a new operating system called charismatic.
Home Security Camera
Home security cameras are becoming more and more popular, and Apple also wants to get into the circle. The report states that the company will build cameras that will anchor the Apple security system.
