Please call it iRobot, please call it iRobot 🤞

I don’t need a robot to following me around the house. I already have a dog.

Apple can't even get Siri, a piece of software right lmao.

Anything resembling a humanoid robot, that preforms decently well, is going to turn a profit.

Ex: Figure01, Optimus Bot, Ameca, Apollo, Atlas, Digit, Pepper, Robonaut 2, Sophia, etc.

All I want is a robot like the Star Wars robot Nvidia showcased 😭

I imagine this iRobot is going to cost around the same price as a top end SUV, but will have very rudimentary features that will cost tens of thousands more just so you can upgrade for a nominal amount of ram or to a language you actually speak. And yes, it will be outdated before you get the upgrade because a new one will come out before then.

even cats and dogs are about to lose their jobs 😅

It’s not really about robots…it’s about the implementation of AI. The company that figures out AI as well as the implementation of the technology will be the most valuable company of all time…literally!

This report says that "hardware is Apple's bread and butter", yet their app store and cloud services are their main source of income.

Can someone just make a robot to do my dishes. Or at least get the ones the dishwasher always misses.

[Aragorn]

As long as it does my laundry for me...🤑

If we are speculating about having better data on a ring that also has an Apple Watch, how far a leap for a bot that can work with the HomePod acoustic mesh network?

[CallumQuinnCreates]

I definitely think if they’re going to do this, they should go for a more simplistic facial design. Right now I don’t think hyper realistic robot faces have quite made it out of the uncanny valley, but if they go for a simplistic two dots and a smiley face kind of style, I think it could be really cute. Humans love things that are cute!

[AleksandrVasilenko]

Bipedal movements are hard to implement and take a lot of energy and computation, they also make the robot larger, but it can go on stairs. A robot on wheels with hands is simpler but it cannot go on stairs.

Apple robot that washes dishes in a sink, $5000.
A dishwasher machine, $500.

[TechMadePlain]

I think the margins on a robot with a screen, if they make it affordable enough to reach the scale of profits they're used to, might not be enough to justify risking the cut to profits on the other multiple Apple devices with screens people already have in their homes - and keep replacing. Right now it doesn't seem like we're trained to think of buying a robot and replacing it with a new one every one, two, three years.

First apple robot should look like a Pixar character

[DariusRoland]

I'd like a kitchen helper, please! Give it a recipe and the ingredients, and it makes a meal!!

[RichardPinewood]

I have suspicious that it could be a humanoid robot ! why ?
They have so many benefits and plus the market is going nuts on them....

[Koenzo]

Apple is way behind, google is late and so is Amazon 😂
