Apple Stores Receive 'Do Not Open' Boxes Ahead of Smart Home Products Launch
Key Points:
- Apple Stores worldwide are set to install new product presentations starting Thursday, October 8, with confidential boxes containing updated visual merchandise arriving earlier this week.
- These materials likely support the launch of new products, possibly including Apple's rumored smart home hub, a new Apple TV 4K, and the HomePod mini 2, rather than the iPhone Duo.
- Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that Apple plans to introduce these three smart home devices on Tuesday, October 13, though the exact timing of the announcement remains unclear.
- The updates in stores would prepare for the product launch, aligning with the expected announcement or release during the week of October 5.
