3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Oct 18

Nov. 6 is shaping up as Apple’s next hardware date, with new Mac models and an updated iPad Mini expected to arrive in early November.
Retail store changes are signaling the launch timing, while Apple’s broader device roadmap also includes the new HomeView as part of a smart-home expansion.
HomeView’s design already suggests room for a higher-end version with a robotic arm, pointing to a more ambitious premium product above the initial release.
That smart-home push is aimed at closing what Apple sees as a major gap in its ecosystem, even as weak iPhone Duo preorders could steer buyers toward the iPhone 18 Pro.
