Apple is reportedly planning to launch a smart home hub in 2026 or 2027.

The device resembles an iPad, with a display attached to an automated robotic arm.

So what is Apple up to?

Apple’s robot arm: what we know so far

According to Gurman, the device would have full 360-degree rotation as well as vertical tilting, and it would be your “smart home command center”, a home security monitor and a video device for FaceTime calls. It would offer both Siri and Apple Intelligence, and it would recognise different voices.

With the exception of the physical movement,iPadsare already capable of those things – and even the movement is sort-of possible via CentreStage, which adjusts the camera to follow your movements. CentreStage doesn’t spin your iPad around 360 degrees, of course, but I do wonder if that’s a feature worth spending £1,000 on an iPad for when you could buy aniPad Proand a lazy Susan and still have money left over.
