Apple Explores Smart Home and Robotics Ventures

Amid declining iPhone sales, Apple is rumored to be developing new smart home products and exploring personal robotics, with some projects possibly a decade away.

Apple is rumored to be developing new smart home products, including a revamped Apple TV with FaceTime and gesture controls, a smart display, and a personal robot for household chores.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman suggests that Apple's venture into personal robotics could take at least a decade, with the company currently focusing on incremental improvements to its existing lineup.
Apple's exploration of smart home and robotics technologies is part of its search for the next big revenue source, following the decline in iPhone sales.
Gurman reports that Apple has skunk-works teams within its hardware engineering and AI organizations exploring robotics, including a table-top product with a robotic arm.
Despite the rumors, Apple has not made any official announcements about its smart home product lineup, leaving the future of these developments uncertain.
