Apple is set to unveil its smart home hub device later this year, according to Bloomberg. The entry-level version will be released first, while a high-end model featuring robotic arms is expected to follow in the next year or two.
Reports about Apple's smart home hub have circulated since 2022, initially hindered by significant reliance on Apple Intelligence, which posed several challenges. In March, tech journalist Gurman reported that the product's launch was delayed due to issues with a Siri upgrade.
Although Apple has not disclosed many details about the smart home hub, current information suggests the design draws inspiration from the HomePod and iPad. It is anticipated to feature a 7-inch display, the new homeOS operating system, and a dashboard similar to the iPhone's standby mode.
