Apple is planning to release three AI-powered smart home products, including the Apple Home Hub, Tabletop Robot, and smart doorbell camera. The announcement comes after rumors about these products have been delayed for years due to each Apple Intelligence upgrade delay. The Home Hub tablet is expected to attach to various products via magnets. The new Apple Foundation Models are trained by Google Gemini and could be released by September. The third product described in the Power On newsletter is a security device. It is unclear whether these products will be released simultaneously.
