Apple is reportedly shifting its focus from the previously rumored Apple Car project to the development of personal home robots, according to people close to the efforts. The tech giant is working on two types of robots: a mobile robot capable of navigating around homes and a robotics-powered tabletop device designed to move displays, as reported by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Despite the excitement around this new direction, some analysts express skepticism. They argue that Apple should concentrate on artificial intelligence (AI) rather than robotics, suggesting that a move into robotics could be a misstep for the company. Dan Ives of Wedbush described the focus on home robots over AI as a 'horror show' for Apple. The debate highlights the broader tech industry's focus on AI as the next major area of competition among tech giants, with a slim probability of seeing a product in the next 5 years.
