Will Apple Develop the First Home Robot? New Apple Device Combines iPad Display with Robotic Arm for Smart Homes
Apple Inc. is developing a new tabletop device combining an iPad-like display with a robotic arm, aiming to create a smart home command center, videoconferencing tool, and security device. The project, codenamed J595, was approved in 2022 and is now a priority for the company, with a potential release as early as 2026. The device, controlled primarily by Siri and Apple Intelligence, is expected to cost around $1,000. The effort reflects Apple's broader push into robotics and AI, seeking new revenue streams following the discontinuation of its self-driving car project.
