Apple is still at heart, a hardware business. According to reports, they are looking at a new line of AI powered home devices that includes a tabletop robot which looks like an iPad with a motorised arm. Interesting.
Another device on the cards is a cross between an iPad and a HomePod speaker which will be accompanied by security cameras and automation devices around the house.
For these devices to really work, they need to make sure that the Siri software vastly improves, making the smart home experience engaging and useful. With all these amazing AI Chatbots coming to the fore, smart in-house assistants are the natural next step. If Apple are making the hardware, I am confident it will look beautiful and the products will be quality.
