Apple's upcoming Home View Ultra, a larger robotics product with a nine-inch swivel screen and arm, is reportedly on track for launch next year, potentially delayed to 2028. According to The Information, the device features autonomous navigation, AI capabilities, and a price point around $1,000. Development began in 2019 under code name J595, with executives expanding ambitions from video calls to autonomous home tasks.
While hardware is complete, software delays persist due to ambitious AI features. The product aims to follow users around rooms and avoid obstacles, though Apple has historically been hesitant to expand its Ultra branding. Former employees suggest the 'Home View Ultra' name will likely be used despite these reservations.
