A commentary piece contends that Apple's next major hardware push should be a dedicated smart-home computer combining a Wi-Fi router, AI-powered hub, and local storage, noting that new Apple CEO John Ternus described an 'intelligent personal hub' emphasizing local processing and privacy during his first keynote.
