[ซื้อดีไหม] Apple has always been known as a technology leader. They often promote new innovations in various mobile devices such as the iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. They are now taking smart home devices seriously as well.
Mark Gurman, a Bloomberg reporter who focuses exclusively on Apple news (and has leaked the news multiple times), recently revealed that Apple is preparing to develop a smart mechanical arm. It is focused on tabletop use, can rotate 360 degrees, and has an iPad-like screen that can be moved.
Mark Gurman also revealed that Apple has recruited hundreds of people to help develop the robotic arm. Codenamed Project J595, the prototype is designed to be a smart home hub that can control other smart devices in the home using a specially optimized iPadOS operating system. Commands can be issued via voice or Siri, for example, if the user says “look at me,” the robotic arm will immediately turn the screen toward the user. To receive other commands
The mechanical arm, tentatively called J595, was approved by Apple's management team in 2022. It is expected to be officially launched in 2026 or 2027. Ready to set the selling price at $1,000 or about 30,000 baht. By the way, the robotic arm may also work with Apple Intelligence or Apple's artificial intelligence services.
It’s a steep price tag. Some executives have expressed concern (as they did with the Vision Pro), but CEO Tim Cook and Apple’s head of hardware engineering, John Ternus, have backed the project. It’s currently under the responsibility of Kevin Lynch, Apple’s senior vice president of technology, who oversees the self-driving car project.
