The tagline all but confirms that Apple’s focus for the event will be on new products for the home. The company is expected to launch a new home hub device described as a screen and speaker combo equipped with the new Siri AI and the ability to control smart home devices, make FaceTime calls, answer questions, view calendars, and more.
The company is also rumored to be announcing updated HomePod minis alongside an updated AppleTV 4K, both with Siri AI capabilities. And earlier this week, details leaked about new smart home devices that Apple has co-developed with LG. An indoor camera, video doorbell, and thermostat under the LG branding are rumored to be launching at the event.
It’s not yet known whether Apple will stream the event or post video of it afterward, but be sure to stop by Rocket Yard for all the news once the new products are announced.
