Following the decision to finally cancel the Apple Car project once and for all, Apple apparently has a ton of money that it needs to find a home for. And right now, we're told that personal robot assistants could be where that money finds a new home. We've already heard that Apple is working on a robot that could follow you around the home, eager to do your bidding. And as futuristic as that might sound, it isn't something that has gotten everyone excited.
Apple wouldn't be the first to try a robot of this type of course and Amazon's Astro is already available, although only by invitation. But we have to imagine that, powered by Apple AI, an Apple robotic servant would up the ante somewhat. But that isn't enough to get Wedbush analyst Dan Ives interested. In fact, he says that trying to come up with a robot would be a "black eye moment" for Apple.
