Apple’s next big launch of 2026 isn’t an iPhone. According to Bloomberg, Apple will launch its first smart home display, code-named J490 and dubbed the HomePad, on October 13. The 6-inch hub features an iMac G4-inspired design, face and voice recognition for household members, and Siri AI. Apple will also launch a HomePod mini with a faster chip and fresh colours, alongside an upgraded Apple TV 4K.
