果粉準備迎接新品,蘋果全球行銷資深副總裁Greg Joswiak在X(前推特)宣布,蘋果將於下週10月13日發布新品,發文還特別寫下「Welcome home(歡迎回家)」,幾乎明示這波新品將以智慧家庭為主角。
蘋果宣布10月13日發新品
綜合各方消息,蘋果可能一口氣推出多款智慧家庭新品,包含首款智慧家庭中樞、新一代HomePod mini 2和第4代Apple TV 4K,主打與Siri AI深度整合,讓蘋果智慧家庭生態系更完整。

不只如此,近日傳出蘋果與LG合作開發一系列智慧家庭配件,包括智慧門鈴、智慧門鎖、智慧攝影機等,或許也有機會同步亮相。這些產品雖然有蘋果參與設計,未來卻會掛上LG品牌販售,而非蘋果自家品牌。
據悉,已有部分媒體及科技創作者收到蘋果邀請函,將於美東時間10月13日上午9點(台灣時間10月13日晚間9點),前往美國紐約參加一場名為「Apple Experience」的實體體驗活動。不過,目前不清楚這場活動是否會有線上直播。
首款智慧家庭中樞最受矚目
這波新品中,最受矚目的就是蘋果首款智慧家庭中樞,據傳外型就像結合iPad與HomePod,配備約6吋螢幕,並有桌上型和壁掛式兩種版本。除了能控制家中的HomeKit設備,還可以進行FaceTime視訊通話、播放音樂、查看照片,甚至充當家庭對講機。更聰明的是,裝置還能透過聲音及臉部辨識不同家庭成員,當有人走近時,就會自動切換成對應的個人化畫面,顯示行事曆等常用資訊。
值得注意的是,除了智慧家庭新品,是否還會有iPad mini 8等其他產品一起現身,目前還不明朗,一切有待蘋果正式揭曉。

At the same time, the White House will launch a STEM education project and invest more than $100 million. However, relations between the technology industry and the White House are tense over immigration issues. Vice President Vance and the Secretary of Labor announced that they would suspend companies such as Microsoft from participating in the visa program, accusing them of abusing foreign workers to apply for permanent residency. Despite the friction, the tech community sees Trump as an ally who supports its priorities and has highlighted his stance on lax AI regulation and concerns about competition from China.

The FBI and the Department of Justice seized the scanning and phishing tools "Microscan" and "FishHub" used by the hacker group, pointing out that the tools were operated by the Chinese security company "Yongxin Zhicheng Technology Group" and had close ties with the Chinese government. The tools had been used to attack U.S. power companies, airports in Japan and Poland, multinational non-governmental organizations, as well as Taiwan universities and critical infrastructure companies. The operation is the latest crackdown on the Typhoon Linen hacker group, with the FBI saying it has disabled its tools and will continue to monitor any efforts by the company to rebuild its infrastructure.

Russian technology giant Yandex's data center in Sasovo was hit by a drone attack on Thursday, causing a fire and forcing it to suspend operations. This incident prompted Russian companies to consider moving critical data infrastructure to countries friendly to Russia to avoid the risk of war.
