Apple plans premium Home View with robotic arm and 360-degree display

Apple is reportedly developing a premium version of its Home View smart display featuring a motorized robotic arm that allows the 9-inch screen to swivel 360 degrees, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The upgraded device, codenamed J595, would turn toward the person speaking to it, addressing a key limitation of the current $299 model, which cannot swivel. Gurman also criticized the existing device's separate power supply purchase, restricted third-party app support, and limited video app availability. The robotic-arm model is expected to be a new, more expensive product rather than a replacement. Separately, Apple is reportedly planning an AI-powered, privacy-focused security camera, codenamed J450, for launch later next year, while the iPad mini may see a price increase.
