Apple is expanding its hardware lineup by developing six major new product categories to be released in the coming years, according to Mark Gurman (via Apple Insider). Following the launch of the Vision Pro, the company wants to introduce fresh consumer technology into the USA market and beyond.
These upcoming devices lean heavily into artificial intelligence and smart home automation, aiming to capture new revenue streams as current leadership transitions.
Smart home devices and wearable pendants introduce fresh hardware formats
The technology giant is designing a smart display and an automated tabletop robot. Reports suggest the smart display could arrive as early as this fall in the USA. This device will likely serve as a central hub for managing household functions. The tabletop robot remains in early development stages and might take several years to reach store shelves.
Apple also plans to release an internet-connected security camera. Evidence of this camera appeared in recent software code. Alongside these home products, the company is creating a wearable pendant driven by its proprietary artificial intelligence platform.
This pendant would offer users a screen-free way to interact with digital voice assistants throughout the day.
Intelligent glasses and updated audio gear complete the upcoming lineup
Engineers are building smart glasses to integrate digital information with the physical world. While rumors about this eyewear have circulated for years, the product aims to serve as a lighter daily alternative to heavier spatial computing headsets.
The company is also bringing advanced artificial intelligence directly to its popular wireless earbuds. Future versions of these audio devices will process complex requests locally or route them through connected smartphones. This move turns standard listening gear into powerful interactive tools.
Although official launch dates remain unconfirmed, these six categories signal a clear shift toward ambient computing and automated domestic hardware.
