Overview

  • Apple plans to develop a suite of AI-driven smart-home hardware including the J450 indoor camera, Face ID doorbell, J490 Home Hub display and animated robot prototypes for a conversational Siri.
  • The J450 camera is designed to deliver high-resolution night vision with infrared sensors, face recognition and battery life lasting several months.
  • The smart doorbell prototype will use Face ID to distinguish residents from visitors and offer hands-free, secure home access.
  • The J490 Home Hub will run a new 'Charismatic' OS on a seven-inch removable or wall-mountable display to host a more natural, LLM-powered Siri interface.
  • Products are not expected to ship before 2026, with the tabletop robot pushed to 2027 as Apple refines its on-device and cloud AI and addresses AI talent turnover.
