After much speculation, Apple's smarthome hub seems to be getting closer to its launch date, promising to bring breakthrough experiences to users.
According to Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman — who is known for his insider sources — we may not have to wait too long.
Gurman said the basic version of the smart home hub could be available as early as the end of the year.
This is great news for those who have been following this project since the early days, especially when the development process encountered many obstacles.
Previously, in March, Gurman mentioned that Apple had to delay the announcement plan due to challenges in upgrading the Siri virtual assistant and significant dependence on the Apple Intelligence platform (Apple's artificial intelligence).
In terms of design, the product is expected to be a subtle cross between the HomePod smart speaker and the iPad tablet, with a 7-inch screen.
In particular, the device will likely run on a completely new operating system called homeOS and have an intuitive control interface, similar to the convenient StandBy mode on the iPhone.
This promises to be a "brain" that controls smart devices in the home more seamlessly and intelligently.
Premium version with robotic arm
But the real highlight that makes Apple product fans restless is the higher-end version, expected to be launched 1-2 years after the basic model.
Imagine a device that can move flexibly across your desk thanks to a robotic arm - that's the vision Apple is aiming for.
Gurman stressed that this is a top priority at Apple, showing the company's determination to create a truly differentiated product.
However, to ensure the launch schedule, the company may temporarily not equip some special features of this robot version, reserving them for future upgrades.
The expected price for this smart home hub is also not easy, starting from 1,000 USD, showing that this will be a high-end device.
While Apple has traditionally kept quiet, entering the smart home hub market would put it in direct competition with established players like Amazon's Echo line and Google's Nest Hub.
This promises to be an interesting race, where Apple needs to prove its difference and appeal in a field that is quite crowded but still has a lot of potential for growth.
The emergence of a smart home hub from Apple, especially with a unique robot version, will definitely be a big boost to the market.
Will Apple once again redefine the way we interact with our living spaces and technology? The answer is still ahead, and fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the official announcement from the company.
