Report: Apple prepping iPad-like robot for your smart home in 2026

According to Bloomberg, the company is moving forward with work on a robotic smart home device that resembles an iPad.

Apple is reportedly pushing through with development of new robotic smart home devices that resemble iPads to some extent. The robotic limb itself is described as “thin” and controlling “a large display.” While it’s likely not a one-to-one ripoff, this description sounds similar to the Echo Show 10 from Amazon whose display can also follow you around. Kevin Lynch, vice president of technoogy at Apple, is the man in charge of the project, while HomePod development lead Matt Costello is overseeing the hardware side of things.
