apparently it is in beta testing. Looks like a toy for the tech savvy culinary clueless.

LOL. Who needs a "smart" thermostat? I can tell whether or not I need
a blanket. I don't need or want the ability to turn on the HVAC when
I'm 10 miles away from home because I already did that. Do I need a
video doorbell? Nope.

Good grief already. It's ridiculous the distances some companies will
go to dumb-down appliances and tools so folks won't have to use their
critical thinking skills! Or is it that some companies want to cater to
folks who have limited intelligence when it comes to their wallets, much
less their culinary (in)abilities?

Why are there supermarkets? Why is there prefab food? Same thing.

Just a nit, but the oven isn't from Apple, it's from another company
entirely, called June. They use a vendor who makes equipment for Apple,
Quantum Computers.

Aside from that nit, yes, the whole concept is indeed ludicrous.

The day I need a $1500 toaster oven, a 'smart' oven, OR an oven
with a freaking camera in it, is the day I QUIT cooking (AND maybe
eating)!

If the car makers get their way, Apple and Google will be shut out of the future.

All of the above, plus I assume Apple's market share of the phone sector ain't what it used to be. Just another way to separate bored consumers from their money.

My guess is that a computer that you wear in your ear is a natural.
