What happened
Apple is reportedly developing an AI-driven roaming household robot, code-named J595 and potentially branded as HomeView Ultra, targeted for release in 2027 or 2028 at a price of $1,000 or more. Supported by new CEO John Ternus, the device is designed to handle FaceTime calls and smart home tasks like turning on lights, though engineers are still working to expand its AI capabilities to justify the cost.
