Summary
October 13 is set to bring three Apple home products: a new HomeView hub, HomePod mini 2 and Apple TV 4K, according to a Bloomberg report published two days before Apple's New York event.
HomeView is described as a touch-display smart home hub with an A18 chip, Siri AI support and two versions—a tabletop model with speaker base and a wall-mounted model—with launch timing around mid-November.
Apple is also preparing an "Apple Home Collection" of partner accessories for HomeView, including a smart doorbell, lock, thermostat and security cameras, though some LG-made devices may not ship until later this year at the earliest.
The HomePod mini 2 is said to move to the S10 chip from the current S5, while the new Apple TV 4K would use an A19 chip and may add built-in microphones plus a Siri Remote speaker for easier locating.
Unlike HomeView, which reportedly lacks a third-party App Store, the HomePod mini 2 and Apple TV 4K are expected to launch sooner—on October 30—marking Apple's broader push to refresh its home lineup.
