Apple has scheduled a product event for October 13 to introduce a new smart home hub, a refreshed HomePod mini and an updated Apple TV, according to Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman. The hub, long anticipated, will feature a 9-inch display mounted on a robotic arm capable of 360-degree movement. A privacy-oriented home security camera and sensor is also in development; it identifies room occupancy without recording video. Apple plans to update its larger HomePod at a later date. The new HomePod mini will be offered in pink and green alongside existing colors, while both the HomePod mini and Apple TV will incorporate faster processors to enable enhanced Siri AI functionality. All three devices were originally slated for a 2024 launch but have been delayed. A separate leak from MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris confirmed an image of an unreleased Apple TV 4K (4th generation), showing a design consistent with the current model. The upcoming Apple TV 4K will retain the existing exterior while receiving internal hardware improvements. These announcements follow earlier leaks about the next iPad mini, which is expected to feature an A20 Pro chip. Apple continues to expand its smart home ecosystem with devices emphasizing AI integration and privacy controls.
