Apple's October 13 launch is all smart home, and the big HomePod sits it out

Two years late. That is roughly where Apple's smart home push lands on Tuesday 13 October, when Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says the company will introduce three products originally planned for 2024, as MacRumors reports. Apple has not confirmed any of it, so treat the details below as well-sourced reporting rather than a spec sheet.

Key Takeaways

  • Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says Apple will introduce a smart home hub, a new HomePod mini and a new Apple TV on Tuesday 13 October
  • All three were planned for 2024 and slipped while Apple finished Siri AI
  • The full-size HomePod is not part of this launch, though Apple still plans to update it
