Apple Collaborates with Foxconn on Advanced Home Robot

The new device combines an iPad-like display with a robotic arm, aiming to serve as a smart home hub.

Foxconn's Hongzhun factory is tasked with developing the robot's mechanical parts and casing.
The robot features a 360-degree rotating display and voice recognition capabilities.
Apple's VP of technology, Kevin Lynch, leads the project with a team of several hundred people.
Expected to release between 2026 and 2027, the device may cost around $1,000.
The robot will run a modified version of iPadOS and integrate with Apple's smart home ecosystem.
