Three New Apple Smart Home Products Coming on October 13

The useful part

Apple plans to introduce a series of new smart home products on Tuesday, October 13, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Apple reportedly plans to debut its long-awaited smart home hub device, a new HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV on the date. The new ‌HomePod mini‌ and ‌Apple TV‌ are set to retain their existing designs, but tout faster chips to support Siri AI.

How it works

• All three products are set to showcase ‌Siri‌ AI, which apparently explains the delay in their launch.
• Apple also continues to work on a higher-end version of the smart home hub, featuring a 9-inch display mounted on a robotic arm that can swivel 360 degrees.
• The new ‌HomePod mini‌ will also come in new color options, including pink and green.
• Gurman set out a range of details about the smart home hub device in the report, which we've outlined in another article.

Details worth keeping

All three were originally planned to launch in 2024. Apple plans to update the larger HomePod at a later date.
