Apple traditionally holds autumn presentations of new devices.
Apple will gather journalists and bloggers in mid-autumn to show smart home devices. MacRumors reports this with reference to sources.
On September 9, Apple introduced the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and foldable iPhone Duo. According to MacRumors, this will not be the company's only fall presentation. Another event is scheduled to take place in mid-October and will be dedicated to smart home devices.
The publication refers to journalist John Gruber and authoritative Bloomberg insider Mark Gurman. Gruber previously reported that Apple was preparing a smart home control center, a second-generation HomePod mini and a new Apple TV 4K model. According to him, the company will almost certainly not announce these devices with a regular press release. Gurman, in turn, said that the public presentation of the gadgets is expected on October 13. If their reports are correct, Apple will hold its second fall event on Tuesday, October 13th.
The authors of MacRumors called another argument in favor of a separate presentation that Apple has not yet handed over the folding smartphone to journalists and bloggers to prepare reviews. The company is expected to hand out the devices to media in person after the October 13 event to avoid premature leaks.
