Future Apple HomePod will be capable of connecting iPad with robotic arm

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman outlined possible Apple TV and HomePod and camera combinations in a report. He said that Apple is exploring future high-end HomePod speakers, which may include an iPad connected via a robotic arm that can be in the room. Track and track users.

The person said that the technology giant based in Cupertino, California, is also preparing to launch a high-end speaker with a touch screen to better compete with market leaders Google and Amazon. This device will combine the iPad with HomePod speakers and also include a camera for video chat.

Apple has already explored using a robotic arm to connect the iPad to a speaker. The robotic arm can move and follow the user around the room, similar to Amazon’s latest Echo Show gadget.

Gurman previously hinted that Apple is developing a HomePod with a screen and camera because it wants to strengthen its smart home product line. However, today’s report is based on this, revealing that Apple is seeking to use the iPad, which may be connected to a speaker through a robotic arm to track and track users during video calls.

The HomePod/iPad combination will work similarly to Amazon’s Echo 10, which has a tablet connected to a robotic arm and uses facial recognition to allow users to stay on the screen during a conference call or when they are called to get attention.

Bloomberg pointed out that the development of this high-end speaker is still at a very early stage, calling it a “concept” and may never see the light in the end. Apple recently discontinued the original HomePod, indicating that it will shift its research and development resources to focus on the HomePod mini.
