We're one day away from Apple's smart-home focused product launch event, with new details from Bloomberg's Mike Gurman revealing what to expect. Apple's long-awaited smart home control hub, reportedly named Home View, will come in two designs. The standard "countertop" model features a metal speaker base and four color options - space gray, silver, starlight, and pink. A wall-mounted version will also be available in space gray and silver.
Both Home View models will feature the Apple A18 chip - the same SoC used in the iPhone 16, 16 Plus, and 16e. Previous rumors suggest a 6-inch touchscreen display with a limited selection of Apple first-party apps and no App Store for additional downloads. Apple is expected to ship the Home View in mid-November.
Alongside the Home View, Apple is expected to launch a new Home Pod mini with the S10 chip, used in the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 11, Watch SE 3, and Watch Ultra 3. It will reportedly come in pink, white, green, blue, and midnight colors. Apple is also bringing an updated Apple TV streaming box with the A19 chip and an updated remote featuring a built-in speaker. The new Home Pod mini and Apple TV box are expected to ship from October 30.
