Apple Pivots Its AI Strategy to Smart Home Devices

Intelligence: Apple is refocusing its AI push on new hardware categories, with Bloomberg reporting plans for a tabletop robotic companion and a smart home hub on a new operating system.

• Apple is developing a tabletop AI companion described as an iPad on a robotic arm that swivels to face the user, with a 7-inch horizontal display and an arm that moves the screen about 6 inches in any direction, targeting a 2027 launch.

• A simpler smart home hub without a moving stand is slated earlier, with a projected 2026 release, handling music control, notes, web browsing, and videoconferencing.

• Both devices reportedly run a new operating system called Charismatic with multi-user support.

• Siri is set for a major overhaul with a cheery personality and a possible visual avatar, tested internally as an animated Finder icon or a Memoji.

• The smart home hub concept dates back to at least 2022, and Apple has explored personal robots since last spring.

• Plans are not final and could change or be canceled, but the strategy signals an effort to make Apple more relevant in AI through home-centric devices.
