Apple plans to launch a 7-inch display home hub in 2026, with tabletop and wall-mounted versions. The hub will feature a FaceTime camera, user recognition, run apps, and control smart home devices. It could cost around $350, potentially making it more expensive than competitors. The launch was delayed to 2026 due to the need for the advanced Siri update. An integrated security camera is also planned for late 2026, complementing the home hub. A tabletop robot with a 9-inch display and motorized arm is slated for 2027, costing several hundred dollars. Apple aims to manufacture these smart home devices in Vietnam, reducing reliance on Chinese manufacturing. BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle company, will handle final assembly, testing, and packaging. This move continues Apple’s trend of expanding manufacturing in Vietnam for various products.
