Available information indicates that Apple is planning a product launch in November. In his most recent Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman wrote that the company could be preparing to introduce refreshed models of the Apple TV and HomePod mini as soon as this month. According to NDTV Profit, the company is said to be organising an overnight update on Nov. 11 to prepare its retail stores for Nov. 12, a step that frequently precedes new product rollouts.
Gurman stated that staff in the stores are receiving instructions to perform post-closing adjustments to the displays and stock. Apple could merely associate this with its annual holiday configuration, but the fact that stores currently have few Apple TV and HomePod mini devices points to new upgrades.
The predicted modifications to Apple TV and HomePod Mini will be minor improvements, as opposed to major overhauls. The new version of the Apple TV could be faster and more energy-efficient, possibly utilizing the latest processors designed by the company.
In the meantime, the HomePod mini may also receive better sound capabilities or more integration with smart home, which will support the new focus of AI and interconnected devices. These gadgets will also set the stage to showcase the future functionality of Apple which involves a more advanced Siri that infuses some of Google Gemini AI functionality.
The prospective release goes in line with the current endeavors by the tech company to extend its smart home solutions and integrate AI further into its products. Notably, they are yet to announce any official upgrade on hardware.
