According to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple isn’t done shaking things up. They’re reportedly working on a wild new project – a tabletop robot with an iPad-like display attached to a robotic arm.
This robotic arm, with 360-degree swivel capabilities and tilt functions, is more than just a fancy desk ornament. It’s rumored to be a multitasking marvel, potentially allowing you to control your smart home, join video calls, keep an eye on your home security, and more – all from the comfort of your couch.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard whispers about Apple venturing into the realm of home robotics. Gurman himself has previously reported on Apple’s interest in this area, but this latest leak suggests things are moving forward at full steam,with hundreds of Apple engineers dedicated to the project.
Imagine commanding Siri or Apple Intelligence to make the screen “look at you” during a video call, or having it automatically turn to show you a security alert. It sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie, but if Apple pulls it off, it could redefine how we interact with technology in our homes.
Of course, this ambitious project comes with a hefty price tag. Sources suggest the robot could cost around $1,000, putting it in the premium gadget category. But for Apple fans and early adopters, this might be a small price to pay for a glimpse into the future of home robotics.
Only time will tell if this tabletop robot becomes a reality. But if it does, it could be the most exciting Apple product since the original iPhone. So, keep your eyes peeled and your wallets ready, because the future of home robotics might be just around the corner, courtesy of Apple.
