Coming in 2027: Apple’s $1,000 home robot for FaceTime and switching on lights

Apple is reportedly developing a $1,000 home robot, code-named J595, that can autonomously roam around and support FaceTime calls and light switching. The robot, possibly named HomeView Ultra, has been in development since 2018 and has received approval from former CEO Tim Cook. The robot has a small team of 10 'true roboticists' and a larger software team of 300 people.
