Apple is preparing to launch a new smart-home hub and related devices on 13 October, according to Bloomberg, as reported by multiple outlets. The report says the smart-home range has been long delayed and is scheduled to debut on that date.
The announcements are tied to Apple’s leadership shift, with Bloomberg reporting that the launch is a key product expansion for the company under John Ternus, who becomes chief executive on 1 September. Details cited across outlets focus on the planned hub as the centerpiece, but do not provide additional confirmed specifications in the articles provided.
Different outlets echo the same core development—an Oct 13 launch date and a smart-home push—largely differing in wording and emphasis rather than substance. The reporting relies on people familiar with the matter, rather than on an official Apple statement, and therefore details may evolve as the launch approaches.
