Apple released a series of smart home devices on October 13

The short video revealing the event was posted by Apple Vice President Greg Joswiak on his personal Twitter account. Instead of holding a traditional large event, the company will have a new product experience session in New York with limited guests. The starting time is 9:00 a.m. on October 13 (8:00 p.m. on October 13, Hanoi time).

With the message "Welcome home", Apple's event is expected to focus on smart home devices with a product appearing for the first time.

Below are three smarthome devices that are likely to appear from the company:

Home Hub

Home Hub is Apple's most rumored smarthome device recently. The company's all-new smart home control center is expected to feature a 6-inch main screen and comes in two versions, one designed for wall mounting and one for use on a table or shelf with a hemispherical speaker base.

The integrated AI virtual assistant Siri will be at the heart of the Home Hub, providing users with all the answers, as well as controlling HomeKit compatible devices. The product will run a customized version of tvOS called homeOS, with familiar Apple utilities and applications.

Home Hub can display the time when not in use, customized to choose the utilities and applications you want to see. The device will integrate a camera to allow video calling and direct interaction without the need for an iPhone or iPad. Presence sensors and cameras will tell the Home Hub which family members are nearby and will display a customized interface for each person. The device also has facial recognition to determine identity.

The expected selling price of Home Hub is 350 USD.

HomePod mini

Apple's small smart speaker will have a new upgrade, with more color options. The product also uses a more powerful processor, along with the N1 network chip that supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread. Apple is likely to also bring Siri AI to this product instead of a simple virtual assistant like the current version.

Apple TV 4K

The regular upgrade of Apple TV 4K will have improvements in the processor chip and increased RAM memory. The device will use the A19 or A19 Pro chip and 8 GB or 12 GB RAM. Similar to HomePod, this model is also equipped with an N1 network chip that supports Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6 and Thread, providing a full AI Siri experience.
