Mark Gurman assures that Apple will fully devote itself to the home market in the coming years, it will do so with the creation of homeOS, a robot and an office product with integrated screen
In addition to revealing future Apple products that would arrive through 2027, Mark Gurman said that Apple was preparing a new proposal to compete in the smart home market in which Amazon and Google are leaders. It is clear that Apple has succeeded with its products that could already be considered from an earlier erawe’re talking about iPhone, iPad and Mac. In other areas, it is obvious that they have not yet taken offFor example, there’s the Apple Vision Pro, the HomePod, and even the canceled Apple Car apparently. Apple already has a new strategy and it involves filling our homes with screens.
Apple will change its vision of products and plans to conquer the homes of the world with new hardware
Although it is true that Apple Vision Pro could be used for many purposes and turns out to be a different product for the rest, has not yet had the limelight and immediate success. Their technology could date from an era we have not yet reached. The Apple Car didn’t even manage to take off, remaining only in research and development. Other products like HomePod and Apple TV have had results but they are not the most relevant accessories on the market. Apple already knows how to change this.
Those from Cupertino want to launch new hardware that the user can enjoy and have at home. In the years to come, according to Gurman, home hardware will be a priority at Apple. It will all start with a new operating system called homeOS which can be used with a smart screen, in addition to the robot we talked about previously. Gurman attributes that Apple has not been successful in the home device market simply because it has a closed ecosystem..
Apple would already have very strong support for its next hardware, remember the smart home protocol called Matter? This allows devices from brands like Amazon, Google and Apple to work together without any problems. Apple would launch its smart home screens and its robot that can coexist with existing home products.
Artificial intelligence is the other side of the coin in smart home strategy
What would Apple’s new domestic strategy be without artificial intelligence? In this case, Apple Intelligence will participate in the implementation of home automation so that the user has all possible tools
Siri will be used in a way that it can be integrated into applications, a new system called “App Intents”. Apple’s AI will be present in the new desktop device to understand the external environment of which it will be partin addition to detecting who you see on the screen, their activities and the interaction that will occur later.
It all seems so good that we forget a detail. Until mid-October, those in Cupertino had not yet launched Apple Intelligence. In the next two years, we hope that Apple’s AI will already have adequate support for Spanish. and you’ve already demonstrated what it can do on iPhone, iPad, and Mac before you think about bringing it to a new home device.
A new operating system on the way with a new smart display
In addition to the robotApple would be clear that it would launch a new smart display, a desktop device that would have homeOSa new operating system which would be based on tvOS. Gurman explains that Apple forms new “Home Ecosystem” working group
The road will not be easy for Apple given that they have not succeededneither in the past nor in the present, regarding products dedicated to the home. For example, just go back in time and see the failed attempts with the iPod Hi-Fi and the original HomePod, which was discontinued a few years after its launch. A small sign of success has only been seen with the HomePod mini and perhaps with the Apple TV in its latest versions, although this does not mean a victory since there are other devices at a lower price .
Apple would have a chance to steal the show with the new desktop product. Concretely, the user could consume content on this product, in addition to FaceTime and having access to native Apple applications. It will be a product that will focus on home security, advanced video conferencing and content playback with high quality sound according to Mark Gurman.
Will Apple succeed in launching this revolutionary home product? Its price would be around $1,000, which at first glance no longer seems so attractive but would surely stand out for its functions.
