Every modern Apple blockbuster has been relatively small and light, with close to zero moving parts:
- iPhone
- iPad
- AirPods
- Apple Watch
Relatively speaking, a home robot is massive, much more complex and fragile. Likely MUCH more expensive than the highest priced iPhone or even Vision Pro.
Such a beast would require a major commitment from the buyer, which means far fewer units sold.
Definitely a different, riskier lane for Apple.
