Apple has announced a new Apple Experience for October 28. We’re expecting to see new MacBook Pros, a refreshed iPad mini and an updated M6 iMac.

Were you able to pre-order an iPhone Duo for launch day?

iPhone Duo pre-orders begin Friday, October 16 at 5am PST. Will you be picking one up in less than 24 hours?

Apple has announced the HomePod mini 2, the product's first hardware update in nearly 6 years. The smart speaker is powered by the S10 chip now, and comes in new green, blue and pink colors. It costs $149 and ships on October 30.

Apple has finally announced a new Apple TV 4K for $299 after nearly 4 years. It looks like the old model but is now powered by the A19 chip. The set-top box also adds 3 microphones to enable Siri AI completely hands-free, and an updated remote enables Find My with a speaker.

Apple has announced HomeView, a new smart home tablet/speaker combo device. It costs $299 and can display personal content for different users in the home. It comes in up to four colors, can be wall mounted and is powered by Siri AI.

Here's everything we're getting at Apple's October 13 'Welcome home' event: - HomeView: new iPad/HomePod combo device for smart home hub + LG smart accessories - Apple TV 4K: faster A19 chip, updated Siri remote - HomePod mini 2: 3 new colors, S10 chip, better sound quality

Apple will customize the iPhone Duo start screen to show a buyer's name when they power it on for the first time. This is what it will look like.

Very cool use of the in-box updater. It’ll be interesting to see if Apple expands the program. The new renderer already knows “Hello” in 49 languages. Apple added the Macintosh Skeletal font in iOS 27 for this feature, first discovered by @SteveMoser:

Apple plans to announce new OLED MacBook Pros on Tuesday, October 27. They are said to be "significantly lighter" than the current generation, although not much thinner.
