New Apple TV, HomePod Mini, and More on Track to Launch This Year

HomePod mini and Apple TV SageThe rumor that never ends: Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today reiterated that new Apple TV and HomePod mini models with Siri AI support remain on track to launch this year.

Other new products he expects this year: an all-new Apple home hub, an updated entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M6 chip, an iMac with an M6 chip, and an iPad mini with an OLED display. Apple often announces new products in October, so hopefully we can soon finally stop talking about the next Apple TV and HomePod mini, which have seemingly been "coming soon" for several years.

I bet when it finally does happen Gurman will crack open a champagne and celebrate like it’s New Years Eve. He will finally be right after years of being wrong about this.
