Apple is reportedly developing a next-generation HomeView featuring a motorized robotic arm and a 9-inch display, potentially shipping as early as 2027. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the device will spin 360 degrees and use voice recognition to automatically face the speaker. This upgrade aims to transform the HomeView from a static display into an interactive companion that responds to user presence.
Codenamed J595, the new model is not a direct successor but a premium offering, possibly branded as 'Max' or 'Ultra'. The robotic concept has been in development since 2024, following the cancellation of the Apple Car project, with earlier reports suggesting a $1,000 price tag and a 2026–2027 release window.
