Apple plans to release a smart home hub with a screen like an iPad between 2026 and 2027. The device will cost about $1,000 and feature a display attached to a robot arm that can move around. This new gadget will work with voice commands through Apple Intelligence and connect all home accessories into one system. Users can make video calls with the front cameras built into the screen. The company aims to create a new version of HomeOS software for easier control of home devices.

Former Apple Watch leader Kevin Lynch heads this project as part of what Apple calls a product renaissance. The expensive price tag places this item firmly in the luxury market rather than for average consumers. This hub represents a new category for Apple that builds on its current ecosystem of products. The robotic arm allows the screen to change position without someone holding it. Apple hopes this device will encourage more people to use their services for home automation.
