Apple's smart home robot J595 delayed, possibly until 2028 at the earliest
According to The Information, Apple is delaying its smart home robot launch plan. The release may be postponed to next year, or even as early as 2028. The device is codenamed J595. Its hardware was completed about two years ago, but software development has not kept up, becoming the main obstacle. The software team plans to scale back some originally planned features and shift focus to FaceTime video calls and smart home automation control, such as using the robot to perform tasks like turning on lights.
