You actually have a good point there. In another comment here I was wondering where you'd actually need the automatic movement, since you are usually either close enough to move it yourself or far enough away to not be able to read or interact with the UI.
But situations like in the kitchen or maybe a work shop, where you don't want to touch the screen are where it would come in useful.
However would those be the places you'd want to put a $1000 Apple product?
Depends on how they market it I suppose
I can't really see Apple market the usage in kitchens. The reality is way to messy and i'd imagine that you would see dirty or even damaged units in no time. I don't think that would go well with Apple's clean design and brand image.
I think you have to imagine it differently. If it's self tracking and ai based with voice as the main input then it makes for a natural fit imo. Think of it like carplay. Apple wouldn't advertise texting and driving, but they'd advertise. Carplay and siri use in the car all day/night.
