Apple prepares its long -awaited smart home for home, and, according to Mark Gourman from Bloomberg, this can happen at the end of 2025. The first information about the project appeared in 2022, but its launch was delayed due to problems with Apple Intelligence integration and Siri update.

According to gourmet information, the base version of the device should be on sale “not earlier than the end of the year”. Apple also works on a more advanced model with a robotic hand that can move on the user’s table, but its launch is expected no earlier than a year or two after the release of the base version. To make it within the specified time, the company plans to postpone some novelty functions for the following generations.

Apple has not officially disclosed the details about its hub, but it is rumored that it will have a 7-inch display, a new homeoS operating system and an interface similar to Standby mode in iPhone. Probably, the design of the device will combine the elements of the Homepod and iPad.

The price of a model with a robotic hand, it is forecast, will start from $ 1000, while the base version will be more accessible.
