An AI Robot By Apple?

As per rthe eport, one of the most notable gadgets that has been discussed is a tabletop robot designed to act as a virtual companion. Expected for 2027, it’s tipped to combine AI-driven conversations, home assistance, and deep integration with Apple’s ecosystem. Think of it as Siri, but with more personality and presence right in your living space.

Apple Smarter Speakers

Before the robot arrives, Apple plans to introduce a smart speaker with a built-in display as early as next year. This will put it in direct competition with devices like Amazon’s Echo Show and Google’s Nest Hub. The idea is to blend Apple’s audio quality with a visual interface for a more engaging smart-home experience, whether that’s making FaceTime calls, checking the weather, or controlling your lights.

Home Security For The Apple Family

Apple is also targeting the growing home-security market. New AI-enabled cameras are reportedly in the works, which could become part of a larger Apple-branded security system. These devices would integrate with your existing Apple products, allowing automation of household functions and keeping you more connected to what’s happening at home.

This push into AI-powered hardware comes at a time when Apple’s recent big launch — the Vision Pro headset, has struggled to take off. Meanwhile, competitors like Samsung, Meta, and OpenAI have moved faster in the AI race. Tim Cook and team are clearly betting that these new products will help restore Apple’s competitive edge and bring fresh excitement to its ecosystem. As always with unannounced Apple products, plans could change.
