They can call it the AppleJack, and the inevitable sex toy that gets made out of it will be dubbed the AppleJackOff.

I guess the farm really isn't bringing in the money anymore.

For those who don't get it, her name is Apple Jack and she works on an apple farm
If I had a robot, I would want it to stay securely bolted to the shop floor. I certainly wouldn't buy one from any big tech company.
I want one that can do annoying manual labor tasks. 'Remove all the paint from the concrete porch' would be a nice command.
Though, with how well AIs are going lately, I could see it deciding to destroy the front door instead if I were to entrust it with a power tool.
One can design a visual language in which such a robot would present to the user what exactly it's going to do.
Then a user can say a command, and the resulting action would be displayed, waiting for confirmation by, say, pressing a button.
"Door into Summer" comes to mind.
That means no. Until they start selling useful robots with a few simple MCs inside and sufficient documentation. No "AI", no telemetry, no nice GUI, nothing like that.
They really lost the plot at this point.
All of those robots are easily defeated by a flight of stairs.
The drone ones can probably handle it
Yeah, don't mind the flying drones using LLM snapshots to navigate and identify obstacles, like random people.
I always thought Apple should make appliances. I say let them try.
Apple making robots, what could go wrong? (Looks up phone number for Tom Selleck)
