Apple Reenters the AI Race with a Companion Robot, Smart Displays, and Next-Gen Security Systems
Apple is making a major push back into the artificial intelligence space, not just through software but also with a new wave of hardware products. The company is reportedly developing a lineup of AI-driven devices, including a companion robot, smart home displays, and advanced security cameras.
At the center of this initiative is a desktop robot codenamed J595. It will feature a 7-inch display mounted on a motorized neck, allowing it to follow users with its gaze and reposition its screen dynamically. The robot will use an enhanced version of Siri, powered by large language models, and will be capable of maintaining conversations with multiple people at once.
Apple is also working on a simpler smart display (J490), which lacks mechanical parts but supports voice control and smart home features. Both devices will run on a new operating system called Charismatic, which will support multimedia widgets and facial recognition features.
In the smart home security space, Apple is developing AI-powered cameras with infrared sensors that can not only record video but also automate tasks — like turning off lights when no one is in the room. A smart doorbell prototype is also in development, equipped with facial recognition to unlock doors for trusted individuals.
Through these new products, Apple aims to strengthen its innovation leadership and compete directly with Amazon, Google, and Samsung in the smart home and personal robotics markets — while expanding its ecosystem into entirely new territories.

A new natural gas well, “Hazarly–2,” has been officially put into operation in the Lebap region of Turkmenistan. The well was drilled by specialists from the “Marynebitgazgözleg” exploration expedition under the state concern “Türkmengeologiýa” and has been handed over for operation to the “Lebapgazçykaryş” production directorate.
The facility is located at the Hazarly site near the Bovrideshik gas field and has become the first well in this area of Turkmenistan to reach industrial-scale production. This development marks an important step in strengthening the country’s gas sector.
The daily output of the new well reaches approximately 120,000 cubic meters of natural gas, contributing to the steady growth of gas production in Turkmenistan.
Over the first eleven months of the year, the workforce of “Lebapgazçykaryş” exceeded its production targets by more than 1%, extracting over 8.516 billion cubic meters of gas. By the end of the year, Turkmenistan plans to increase this figure to 9.3 billion cubic meters.
In addition, 28,039 tons of associated gas condensate were produced, surpassing the planned volume by 2,235 tons. Increased production has also boosted Turkmenistan’s export performance, with gas exports exceeding planned levels by nearly 41%, resulting in an additional 1.38 billion cubic meters supplied to foreign markets.
Since the beginning of the year, a total of 20.908 billion cubic meters of hydrocarbon resources have been extracted from the subsurface of Turkmenistan.
