Apple is reportedly developing a new smart display, dubbed an “AI wall tablet for home control,” to address the frustrations of controlling smart home devices. The device will reportedly serve as a hub for Apple Home, its smart home platform, offering a centralized interface for managing lights, locks, security systems, and more.
The smart home has an interface problem. Searching for an app on your phone, fighting with a confused voice assistant, and fiddling with a “smart” display to turn off a light is enough to send anyone running back to the wall switch. But now, Apple is taking a crack at solving the frustrations of smart home control — and it has the opportunity to actually make the smart home work.
Next year, the company will reportedly launch an “AI wall tablet for home control,” and it’s said to be developing more devices for the home (including cameras, a tabletop robot, and maybe even a TV). Among other features, such as video calling, this new smart display will reportedly be a hub for Apple’s home automation platform, Apple Home, providing a communal household interface for controlling smart devices like lights, locks, security systems, and cameras. 'It’s about damn time Apple took the smart home seriously' It’s about damn time Apple took the smart home seriously, having let Apple Home / HomeKit largely languish in the decade since its launch. All signs point to a renewed interest here, kick-started by the company’s involvement in Matter (a new smart home connectivity standard it helped develop) and spurred by a need to find its next big thing. Apple’s supposed first new home product jumps right into one of the trickiest categories: the smart display. Originally designed as a way to “show” you what the voice assistant in your smart speaker was doing, today’s smart displays have become a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. It turns out that stuffing a smart home control panel, video calling device, camera surveillance system, digital photo frame, calendar, alarm clock, and even a kitchen TV into an underpowered, underprogrammed touchscreen stuck on a voice-activated speaker has not been a huge succes
