Apple is expected to unveil its new smart home hub, HomeView, on Oct. 13, with a launch expected in mid-November. The device is expected to serve as a central controller for Apple-based smart homes and feature Siri AI. Reports say it will have a roughly 6-inch square touchscreen and come in desk and wall-mounted versions. Apple is also expected to announce new Apple TV and HomePod mini models and expand its ecosystem with LG.

Apple is preparing to release a new version of its HomePod mini smart speaker after 6 years, with a focus on internal upgrades rather than a major redesign. Reports say it could be unveiled as early as this fall. The device is expected to feature a newer processor, support for an enhanced Siri AI introduced in iOS 27, improved audio quality and updated wireless connectivity. Pricing remains uncertain, with the current model selling for $129.
