Original: Coming in 2027: Apple’s $1,000 home robot for FaceTime and switching on lights
Apple is reported to be developing a home robot priced around $1,000 that could launch in 2027. The device is described as combining FaceTime video calling with smart home functions such as switching lights on and off, positioning it as a companion and household controller rather than an industrial robot. The report has drawn attention as a sign of Apple's interest in robotics and smart home hardware beyond its existing devices.
Why now: Reports of Apple entering the home robotics market with a relatively affordable smart home device are new and fuel speculation about the company's next product category
