Apple’s new smart home hub, commonly called 'Home Pad,' is reportedly launching October 13. And a new leak reveals the colors it might launch in.
Last night, leaker pdfu posted images of what appears to be the Home Pad setup process. This isn’t the first discovery pdfu shared, as he recently revealed new features for iPhone Duo that are likely to extend to Home Pad as well. Now in a follow-up post, pdfu says Home Pad may come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink.
As seen below, the Home Pad setup process appears to default to certain preview art depending on the finish of the model you’re using. The Photo Face setup screen picks its preview art based on the hardware color the device reports. The device’s housing may also show in setup screens once device assets are available.
As previous reporting indicates, Home Pad will offer watch OS-style customizable faces that users can set up. The images found by pdfu demonstrate Apple’s 'Photo Face' on the new smart home hub and provide a glimpse at the square form factor that’s coming.
