Overview
- Prototype hardware from Bloomberg sources shows a roughly 7-inch screen on a motorized arm for a tabletop robot companion codenamed J595, pegged for a potential 2027 release if development stays on track.
- A pared-down smart display, J490, is expected around 2026 to handle home controls, music playback, video calls and early versions of the revamped Siri interface.
- Apple’s J450 home-security camera line, also due in 2026, will be battery-powered with facial recognition and infrared sensors to automate tasks such as lighting adjustments.
- All devices are slated to run Charismatic, a multiuser operating system that adapts layouts via facial recognition and prioritizes Siri-driven voice interaction.
- Apple has declined to comment on the unannounced products and timelines remain tentative pending progress on Siri’s large-language models, regulatory reviews and privacy safeguards.
