Greg Joswiak, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, posted a teaser video on X<\/a> on Thursday. It shows the old rainbow Apple logo, embroidered, and sets a launch for Tuesday 13 October.<\/p>\n

\u201cWelcome home. October 13,\u201d Joswiak wrote.<\/p>\n

Apple invited the press to an \u201cApple Experience\u201d in Tribeca, New York, at 9am Eastern time, or 2pm in London and 3pm in Paris, 9to5Mac reported<\/a>. Apple used the same format for its MacBook Neo launch earlier this year. It has not said whether it will stream the event.<\/p>\n

What Apple is expected to show<\/p>\n

Apple has not said what it will launch. Bloomberg, which first reported the date<\/a> last week, has more detail. Its Apple reporter Mark Gurman described the line-up on his Power On podcast<\/a> on Thursday. He expects three main devices: a smart home hub with a display, a new HomePod mini with a faster chip and a new Apple TV.<\/p>\n

Gurman said Apple first wanted to release the devices at the end of 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re only coming out now for a very clear reason. They\u2019ll rely on Siri AI,\u201d Gurman said.<\/p>\n

Apple released Siri AI with iOS 27 last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Devices made with LG<\/p>\n

Gurman also expects Apple to launch home devices made with LG. He listed a doorbell, a smart door lock, a thermostat and indoor, outdoor and floodlight cameras. A temperature sensor may come later, he said. Bloomberg first reported the LG partnership<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greg Joswiak, Apple\u2019s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, posted a teaser video on X on Thursday.
