That\u2019s because I switched from a push mower to a robot lawn mower that I manage from my iPhone. It\u2019s the Anthbot M9, and it\u2019s by far my favorite new piece of technology I\u2019ve tried this year.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-1050537\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-anthbot-m9-robot-lawn-mower-is-actually-easy-to-set-up-and-use\">Anthbot M9 robot lawn mower is actually easy to set up and use<\/h2>\n<p>When the Anthbot M9 robot lawn mower arrived for testing, I put off setting it up until I had a few free hours to spend with it.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, I needed less than 30 minutes to unbox everything, get the hardware in place, and set up the app. Since the moment the Anthbot M9 robot lawn mower arrived, I\u2019ve been surprised and impressed with this thing.<\/p>\n<p>Anthbot M9 includes three pieces of equipment: the robot lawn mower, the charging station, and a sensor called the RTK reference station. <\/p>\n<p>More primitive robot lawn mower systems rely on burying a perimeter wire. That\u2019s not the case here.<\/p>\n<p>I picked a spot with a clear view of the sky in the backyard for the RTK reference station. It attaches to a pole that includes a forked end for just sticking into the ground. No need to dig.<\/p>\n<p>Then I positioned the charging station in a spot at the edge of my back patio area where the Anthbot M9 robot lawn mower can call home.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ANTHBOT M Series Robot Lawn Mower \u2014 Compact &amp; Mighty | Auto Mapping, Zero Setup\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PQdq3glWPS8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>A wire connects the RTK sensor station to the charging station, and a power cable runs from the charging station to the nearest power outlet.<\/p>\n<p>I was able to tuck both cords out of sight by running them along the patio concrete. The box contains a handful of plastic spikes that hold these cords in place. After more than a month of rain and robot lawn mowing, they\u2019re still out of sight and haven\u2019t required any attention. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-app-lets-you-manage-the-experience-from-your-iphone\">The app lets you manage the experience from your iPhone<\/h2>\n<p>Once the hardware is in place, the rest takes place from the Anthbot iPhone app. <\/p>\n<p>I completed the setup process by manually&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/01\/iphone-controlled-anthbot-m9-robot-lawn-mower-has-replaced-cutting-grass-for-me\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iPhone-controlled Anthbot M9 robot lawn mower has replaced cutting grass for me https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/2026\/05\/01\/iphone-controlled-anthbot-m9-robot-lawn-mower-has-replaced-cutting-grass-for-me\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237987,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5mac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/05\/Anthbot-M9-iPhone-app.webp?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237986"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237986"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237986\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":237988,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237986\/revisions\/237988"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
