Hopefully this is an opportunity for Apple to re-enter the home wi-fi network market - obviously synergistically combining wifi-fi mesh (probably using WiFi 7) , bluetooth and FindMe to both map (spacial computing) and provide high speed communications between IOT (internet of things).  

This is what I've been hoping since they got out of the wi-fi network market. That move just never made sense. Just as HomeKit was trying to go mainstream and as Apple was doubling down on data security as the thing that sets them apart, they ceded the heart of data security in the home - the home wireless network - to other companies and discontinued their AirPort line of routers. 

Since they reversed themselves on the decision to cease production of the OG HomePod and came out with a second iteration of that, perhaps there's hope they'll make a splash this year and introduce Apple wi-fi mesh routers.
