Apple considers re-entering television market as smart home products take center stage

Apple is reportedly considering making its own television again, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. This follows years of speculation, with the idea first emerging nearly 14 years ago. Previous attempts were dismissed by Steve Jobs due to market concerns. The potential launch of an Apple TV may depend on the success of upcoming smart home products. These include a wall-mounted device similar to Google Nest Hub and a revamped HomePod with a large screen for various functions. Apple is also exploring other smart home technologies, including a new IP camera and a premium device with a robotic screen. These developments indicate a strong focus on smart home integration rather than traditional television.
