Overview
- Leaked images and code discovered inside Apple software builds on Sept. 25, first published by MacRumors and picked up across outlets, reveal finished product art and references for an iPad mini, a HomePod mini 2, and an Apple TV 4K (4th generation).
- The iPad mini shown in the assets is reported to include the A20 Pro chip, a slightly larger OLED display, a landscape-oriented front camera, improved water resistance, and a redesigned speaker layout, though Apple has not confirmed these specs.
- The HomePod mini 2 images and code reportedly show a new chip, explicit mentions of Siri AI support, and five color options including green and pink, implying a focus on smarter on-device voice features.
- References to an Apple TV 4K (4th gen) in the files point to an upgraded A‑series chip, more RAM, an Apple N1 Wi‑Fi 7 chip, Siri AI support, and a revised Siri Remote while keeping a similar external design.
- Reporters including Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman say the leaks are strong indicators of imminent products and that Apple could announce or launch them by the end of October, a timing that could extend Apple Intelligence features to home devices and affect support for older models.
