The device is said to be the first of a series of smart home devices Apple is reportedly working on, including a home hub that can move courtesy of a robotic arm and possibly even an Apple-branded TV. That last one is a very big maybe, but according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman Apple is seriously considering it.

Apple is said to have developed various kinds of attachments for the device, including wall mounts and speaker bases. As far as the price goes, the company is apparently chasing the same bracket as Google’s Nest Hub Max and Amazon Echo Hub, both of which sell within the $250 range.

Apple has another smart home technology under development, and this expands more of its focus on home technology.

It appears Apple’s rumored push into the smart home will include an Apple smart security camera. Supply-chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reports the company is planning to start production of a smart home IP camera in 2026 and aims to sell over 10 million units a year.

Apple will unveil an iPad-like smart home wall-mountable tablet next year, and we have an idea of how the device will work.
