Goodbye Apple Car, Hello Apple Home Robots: Is the new Apple toy coming anytime soon? Probably not.

Quick Glance: Farewell Apple Car, Welcome Apple Household Robots

After discontinuing its electric vehicle project, Apple seems to be shifting focus towards developing household robots.

Reports suggest Apple is working on an advanced tabletop device utilizing robotics to move a display, resembling a responsive TV screen.

The household robotics market has seen limited success, with Amazon's Astro receiving underwhelming responses, raising questions about Apple's potential success.

With a history of innovation but recent setbacks like the Vision Pro VR and cancellation of the Apple Car, the future of Apple's domestic helper remains uncertain.
