Overview
- Apple retail teams were told to conduct an overnight refresh on Nov. 11, a move that could be seasonal merchandising or a setup for new product displays, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
- Inventory of Apple TV and HomePod mini is reportedly tight, which Gurman says often precedes updates, though a 2025 launch remains unconfirmed.
- The revamped Siri is targeted for around March 2026 and will “lean” on a paid, custom version of Google’s Gemini running on Apple’s Private Cloud Compute, enabling AI web search while keeping an Apple interface.
- A new smart home display is expected to debut alongside the Siri update, with speaker‑base and wall‑mount configurations reported.
- Gurman’s roadmap projects roughly 15 Apple products in 2026 across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and displays, with Apple Intelligence still facing a delayed rollout in China due to regulatory hurdles.
