Apple is reportedly planning to introduce three new smart home products on Tuesday, October 13, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The lineup is expected to include the company’s long-awaited smart home hub, a new HomePod mini, and an updated Apple TV.

The launch would represent a significant expansion of Apple’s home hardware plans. All three products were originally expected to arrive in 2024, but their release was delayed while Apple worked to support its artificial intelligence features through Siri.

New Apple home hub leads the lineup

The most notable product in the reported lineup is Apple’s first dedicated smart home hub. The device is expected to serve as a central control point for home devices and Apple services, although the available report does not provide further details about its design or specifications.

Apple is also continuing development of a more advanced home hub with a 9-inch display attached to a robotic arm. That display is reportedly designed to swivel 360 degrees, suggesting a product that could adjust its viewing angle around a room. However, this higher-end model is not expected to be part of the October launch.

HomePod mini and Apple TV may keep current designs

The next HomePod mini and Apple TV are reportedly set to retain the designs of their current models. Their main hardware change would be faster chips intended to support Siri AI features.

The updated HomePod mini is also expected to arrive in additional colors, including pink and green. The report does not specify whether the new Apple TV will receive any external changes beyond its faster internal hardware.

Putting Siri AI across the three products could give Apple a more consistent way to control connected devices and services from different points around the home. It also helps explain why products that were initially planned for 2024 have taken longer to reach customers.

Apple is developing security hardware

Beyond the October products, Apple is reportedly working on a privacy-focused home security camera and a sensor. The system could identify which room a person is in without recording video.

That approach would distinguish the product from conventional security cameras by using room detection while avoiding continuous video capture. The report does not indicate when Apple might release the camera or sensor.

Apple has not been described as officially announcing the October 13 event or these products in the available information. The reported launch plans, features, and timing could therefore change before any products are formally introduced.
