Just as Apple patented the Apple Vision Pro in plain sight for years, it may now be doing the same with the predicted Home Hub, this time starting with a remote control for the device.
Even as the Apple Watch tries to get us up off our backsides, a future Apple Home might encourage us to park our bums on the couch. For a newly-granted patent sees us being able to remote-control more items around the house, perhaps from our iPhones, or possibly from an entirely new device.
The patent, called ”Electronic devices with touch input components and haptic output components,” consciously avoids committing itself to whether it’s something like the predicted HomePod with a screen, or future robot device. Instead, you can read it as being either of those or, again, a future iPhone.
