Leaks point to a busy October for Apple with a new Apple TV, HomePod mini, and Home Hub launching in tandem with the iPhone Duo. Here are the latest rumors and more on the AppleInsider Podcast. The iPhone 18 Pro Max camera system is Apple's best yet, but the gains are small year-over-year. The more interesting comparison will be when hosts can get their hands on iPhone Duo to see exactly how that camera performs. Leaks show Apple is set to release an updated Apple TV 4K, a HomePod mini with Siri AI, and the long-awaited Home Hub tablet in October. A separate rumor places the announcement of these products on October 13. Your hosts also discuss how Apple is covered when its competitors announce new products, like Meta VR Glasses. There is also a lot of talk around AI agents getting mascot-like characters even as Apple continues to push Siri. BONUS: Subscribe via Patreon or Apple Podcasts to hear Apple Insider+, the extended edition. This time, your hosts discuss Apple Watch Ultra 4 and the upgraded Apple Health experience.
