Domestic debut of an Apple-crafted robot, fueled by Siri technology, anticipated in near future
Apple is set to revolutionize its digital assistant, Siri, with a significant upgrade that will transform it into a highly intelligent, voice-first AI capable of precise, deep control over apps and smart home devices. This transformation, expected to be unveiled in spring 2026 alongside iOS 26.4, will empower Siri to perform complex actions purely by voice, such as editing photos, sending messages, posting on social media, and handling sensitive tasks like banking and health app operations with high accuracy [1][3][5].
A key part of this upgrade involves the integration of Siri into a new ecosystem of home products. One of the devices Siri will control is a home robot. This table-top robot, powered by the smarter Siri, will act as an interactive companion with a motorized arm and display. It will proactively follow users around and provide contextual assistance, going beyond static devices to offer a lifelike, engaging presence in the home [2][4].
Another device in this ecosystem is a six-inch smart display, expected to serve as a central control hub for the smart home. This device will deeply integrate with Apple’s HomeKit ecosystem, offering seamless, voice-first control over a wide range of connected devices. It aims to compete with existing smart displays like Amazon’s Echo Show [2][4].
Apple is also planning to introduce a smart security camera controlled by the upgraded Siri, contributing to a cohesive, intelligent home environment under Siri’s command [2].
The enhanced Siri will deliver nuanced, context-aware interactions, possibly including a visual avatar for more lifelike communication, addressing past limitations and competition from AI models like ChatGPT and Google Gemini [4]. However, Apple faces challenges ensuring compatibility and safety in high-precision scenarios, which has delayed the rollout [1][5].
In summary, Siri's anticipated role is to become the central AI command hub across Apple’s ecosystem—including a home robot, smart display, and security camera—providing a next-generation, deeply integrated smart home experience through advanced voice control and AI interaction starting in 2026 [1][2][3][4][5]. The new devices, part of a series of new home products, are not expected to appear until at least 2026 and possibly as late as 2027.
