Apple Event on October 13?
Key Points:
- Apple is expected to unveil its new smart home hub, a second-generation HomePod mini, and a new Apple TV 4K model on October 13, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman and John Gruber of Daring Fireball.
- Gruber suggests the home hub will be introduced with a keynote video and a media event featuring hands-on demos, rather than a simple Apple Newsroom announcement.
- The October 13 event is likely to be an online-only Apple Event streamed on Apple's website and YouTube, followed by an in-person hands-on experience for selected media.
- During the hands-on session, reviewers may receive iPhone Duo units ahead of the device’s launch on October 23, continuing Apple's practice of distributing review units about a week before release.
- Apple is expected to officially announce the October 13 event by next week, signaling a major product reveal day.
