Although it is something that we already sensed, and that we knew was close, now it is even clearer, and that is that Apple would have given clues about the release of two new products that we have been waiting for for a long time, and that could be launched next week.
Everything indicates that it will be the night of November 11when the HomePod mini and Apple TV land in stores around the world. Even other devices such as the AirTag 2, which we also expect, may even join this silent launch.
Product launch in November
Apple is about to move again. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is preparing to launch new versions of the Apple TV and HomePod mini very soon. Everything indicates that the change could occur on November 11, when Apple stores will do a nightly inventory update, something that normally happens just before new products arrive, since they place everything so that, when they open, people can already see, in person, these new products.
For a few weeks now, several stores have been left with few units of the current Apple TV and HomePod mini. This is another clear sign that these devices are going to be renewed. Although Apple has not officially confirmed anything, Gurman assures that the company has been working on both devices for some time and that its launch is imminentas we have been commenting weeks ago.
The new models would not only bring performance improvements, but also support for Apple Intelligence featuresthe company's commitment to artificial intelligence (although they will not come out directly with these). This would allow Siri to be much more useful and natural when speaking, something that Apple wants to extend to its entire ecosystem, from the iPhone to your living room. Thus, both the Apple TV and the HomePod mini would become key pieces within this new “intelligence.”
During the last earnings call, Apple made it clear that there will be no more Mac launches this year, so these two devices seem like the ones chosen to close 2025 with something new. A radical change in design is not expected, but internal improvements and more integration with the company's services, such as Apple Music, Apple TV+ and HomeKit, are expected. And who knows if a AirTag 2 which we also hope for.
In short: if you were thinking about buying an Apple TV or a HomePod mini, wait a few days. Everything indicates that Apple is about to renew both, and they could arrive with interesting news just in time for the holidays. Furthermore, the price may be even more attractive, so purchasing an old one, at this point, is absurd, and hence even Apple does not replenish the stock, to prevent this from happening.
And you, do you think an update was necessary for both? Or, on the contrary, are they simple devices that already work well, and many times they launch new models out of simple consumerism? Leave us a comment with your opinion, and if you will get any model when they come out.
