Apple Event Opens With Home AI, Voice Plus Screen Core

KEY FACTS

Apple made home AI the opening highlight of its event.
Home AI interaction still relies mainly on voice and screens.
The article notes that the domestic HomeView does not yet support voice wake-up.
Domestic products such as Xiaodu have already entered the home AI market.
Smart cost is seen by the article as the main barrier to home AI adoption.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Apple putting home AI in the opening slot shows the giant has decided the home is a key scenario for AI deployment. But voice-plus-screen interaction has not changed in years, and domestic vendors still lag on cost and experience. The real opportunity is not in piling on hardware, but in whether AI can continuously understand household needs and form a closed-loop service.
