Apple Smart Home
Innovative gadget from Apple
By According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple intends to introduce a revolutionary device for the smart home as early as 2026. This unique gadget will be a desktop robot with an impressive display.
Design Features
The new product will be equipped with a large screen, reminiscent of an iPad, mounted on a thin robotic arm. This design will provide users with the ability to adjust the position of the display, tilting it up and down, as well as rotating it a full 360 degrees. This engineering solution is designed to provide maximum versatility in using the device.
Functionality and Application
Apple engineers position this gadget as a “multifunctional smart home control center.” The device will be able to act as a video phone for communication via FaceTime, and also serve as a home security monitoring system. The gadget will be based on the voice assistant Siri and advanced artificial intelligence technologies Apple Intelligence.
Development team
Project management is entrusted to Kevin Lynch, who serves as Apple's vice president of technology. He previously led development of the Apple Watch and led the company's now-discontinued self-driving car project.
Release plans and pricing
Apple plans to bring the new product to market in the period 2026-2027. The company is aiming for a price tag of around $1,000 to make the device accessible to a wider audience. However, these plans may be adjusted depending on development progress and market conditions.

Wow, sounds like something out of science fiction! 🤖 I wonder how this robot will fit into the interior of an ordinary apartment?
Klaus
Natalia, I thought about this too. Maybe they will make different designs for different interior styles? It would be cool to have such an assistant at home!
Sophie
I'm wondering how functional the AI will be in this device. If it can truly control the entire smart home, it will be a breakthrough! 🏠💡
Diego
Sophie, I agree! I hope that Siri in this device will be much smarter than it is now. Otherwise it's just an expensive iPad on a stand 😄
Oleksandr
Guys, don't you think that $1000 is too cheap for such a device? Apple usually puts prices higher. Maybe the functionality will be limited? 🤔
Giovanni
It's all nonsense. Another useless toy for the rich. It would be better to do something really important, and not robots for lazy people.
Natalia
Giovanni, don't be such a pessimist! Technology is evolving to improve our lives. Imagine how this device can help elderly or disabled people 👵👴
Marie
But I'm thinking about safety. If this robot is connected to smart home systems, will it become an easy target for hackers? 🔒 Apple will need to seriously work on security.
