Apple's Robotic-Arm HomeView Leaks: 9-Inch Screen With 360-Degree Rotation
Apple's new HomeView device with robotic arm may launch in 2027, rotating 360 degrees to face speakers.
In brief
Apple's new HomeView device with robotic arm may launch in 2027, rotating 360 degrees to face speakers. Apple is developing a robotic-arm HomeView device codenamed J595 with a 9-inch screen that rotates 360 degrees to face speakers, targeting a 2027 or 2028 launch. Originally reported by BigGo Finance.
Apple's Robotic-Arm HomeView Leaks
Apple reportedly developing a robotic-arm version of its HomeView device codenamed J595 with a 9-inch screen that rotates 360 degrees and automatically turns toward speakers.
“Apple is reportedly developing a robotic-arm version of its HomeView device, codenamed J595, featuring an approximately 9-inch screen that can rotate 360 degrees and automatically turn toward whoever is speaking, with a target launch window of 2027 or 2028.”
HomeView Features
The device uses voice recognition to determine speaker location and automatically rotates the screen toward them, making it easier for multiple people seated in different positions to use.
“The report says J595 is designed to use voice recognition to determine where the current speaker is located and then automatically turn the screen toward that person, making it easier for multiple people seated in different positions to use.”
Apple's Target Launch Window
Apple has not officially announced the launch date but targets 2027 or 2028 for the J595 device, with features still in research and development.
“The robotic arm, speaker recognition and automatic rotation are all still in the research-and-development stage, and Apple has not officially announced the related features or a launch date.”
Nvidia Denies RTX 5090 Discontinuation
Nvidia's senior vice president Jeff Fisher denied the RTX 5090 is being discontinued but acknowledged supply-chain constraints.
“Responding to rumors that the GeForce RTX 5090 is about to be discontinued, Jeff Fisher, Nvidia's senior vice president of the personal computing business, denied the claim on October 16 while attending the RTX Spark computer sales launch event in Taipei.”
NIO's Quarterly Sales
NIO sold 111,638 vehicles in China's third quarter, surpassing Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi individually for the first time.
“On October 17, NIO co-founder and president Qin Lihong disclosed that, based on WaySight retail sales data, NIO sold a cumulative 111,638 vehicles in the Chinese market in the third quarter, the first time its quarterly sales have individually surpassed those of the three German luxury automakers Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.”
Changan Automobile's Strategy
Changan Automobile chairman Zhao Fei said China's domestic auto market is under pressure and will focus on overseas expansion, targeting 1.5 million overseas sales in 2027.
“Zhao Fei, the newly appointed chairman of Changan Automobile, said at a media briefing on October 16 that China's domestic auto market has declined severely while opportunities remain overseas, and that Changan must focus fully on overseas development.”
DeepSeek Upgrades AI Model
DeepSeek upgraded its Flash model to Flash-1017, opening search and web-scraping APIs with pricing at 5 yuan per 1,000 calls.
“On October 17, DeepSeek upgraded V4.1 Flash to the Flash-1017 version, with simultaneous updates to the web, app and API, while usage methods and pricing remained unchanged.”

Luxeed Auto will obtain independent vehicle-manufacturing qualification and plan a separate listing after public notice period ends.
“On October 17, an insider at Luxeed Auto confirmed to Yicai that the company will obtain an independent vehicle-manufacturing qualification after the relevant public notice period ends and approval is granted.”
Nvidia's Custom Memory Design
Nvidia is working with Samsung and TSMC to design custom high-bandwidth memory for 30% higher bandwidth and 15% lower power consumption.
“Separately, Seoul Economic Daily, citing industry sources, reported that Nvidia is working with Samsung and TSMC to design a custom high-bandwidth memory, NVHBM, and plans to use TSMC's 3nm process to manufacture the base logic die.”
Impact Analysis
Apple's device could shift smart-home entry points to interactive terminals with spatial-awareness capabilities, while Nvidia's supply-chain issues persist.
“If Apple combines a robotic arm with a screen, it would mean the smart-home entry point shifts from a fixed panel to an interactive terminal with spatial-awareness capabilities, and precision transmission, micro-motors and voice recognition in the supply chain could see new incremental demand, but the product is still in early R&D and will be hard-pressed to contribute meaningful revenue in the near term.”
NIO's Market Shift
NIO's quarterly sales surpassing all three BBA automakers reflects a reshaping of China's domestic luxury-car market.
“NIO's quarterly sales surpassing all three BBA automakers reflects a reshaping of the structure of China's domestic luxury-car market, making the share pressure on German brands in the electrification transition more visible.”
