$34,890 Vol. 412d 4h left
Description Apple launched its $299 HomeView smart display in October 2026. The Information reported in November 2026 that Apple's tabletop robot (codename J595, reportedly 'HomeView Ultra', ~$1,000, 9-inch swiveling screen on a robotic arm) has finished hardware but is held back by software issues, targeting 2027 with possible slip to 2028.
- This event resolves YES if, between November 14, 2026 and December 31, 2027 23:59 America/New_York (January 1, 2028 04:59 UTC), Apple's tabletop robot becomes available for general public purchase in at least one country, with units delivered to customers or available in stores.
- This event resolves NO if no such availability occurs by the deadline.
- 1. Specificity: Any Apple home device with a motorized/robotic screen or arm counts, under any name or redesign. First availability = Apple's official 'available'/'in stores' date or confirmed first customer deliveries, in any country, via Apple Online Store, Apple Retail, or authorized resellers. One country or Apple-only channels suffice.
- 2. Exclusion: Announcements, preorders, or delivery estimates without actual deliveries/in-store availability by the deadline; developer, beta or test units; grey-market or accidental pre-launch sales; non-robotic HomeView/HomePod devices.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Apple Newsroom and Apple Online Store priority. Bloomberg, Reuters, The Information secondary. The Verge, MacRumors tertiary.
- 4. Timing: Availability must begin before January 1, 2028 04:59 UTC; later availability resolves NO. Resolves YES early once first availability is confirmed.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: Announcement alone without availability resolves NO. If made available then withdrawn before deadline, resolves YES based on first availability date.
