Apple is expected to launch an iPad -like smart home hub that can be mounted in a dock or on a wall, and a smart screen attached to a moveable robotic arm.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has pegged the date on either the second or third quarter of 2025 .

Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman has predicted it’ll launch later in 2025 , since it apparently relies on features coming in iOS 18.4 and iOS 19 .

Gurman adds that the user interface will be a mix between watchOS and iOS’s StandBy mode.

A video emerged from Apple ’s labs in early February 2025 showing a Pixar -like robotic lamp that could interact with people in a remarkably human-like way.

It could well have been an early prototype or tech demo of the home hub with a robotic arm.

Both products are expected to run on the as-yet-unreleased homeOS operating system.
