Apple Reportedly Delays Smart Home Robot Launch Until 2028 Due to Software Challenges
Apple's rumored smart home robot, codenamed J595 and potentially titled 'HomeView Ultra,' faces significant delays. While the hardware has reportedly been completed for approximately two years, software development issues have pushed the expected launch date back to 2028 at the earliest. The device is expected to feature a nine-inch display on a robotic arm designed to follow users during FaceTime calls and automate home tasks. Due to high component costs, particularly RAM, the robot could retail for over $1,000, positioning it as a premium offering in the smart home sector.
