Report: Apple’s smart home ambitions include “tabletop robot,” cameras, and more

Apple is reportedly developing a 'tabletop robot' resembling an iPad on a movable limb, set for a 2027 launch. The robot, equipped with a 7-inch display and a camera, aims to follow users and support facial recognition for smart home automation. This initiative mirrors Amazon's smart home efforts, including the Astro robot and Echo Show.
