RBI's liquidity move lifts weighted average call money rates by 12 bps
The Reserve Bank's liquidity measures announced last week to drain surplus from the banking system lifted weighted average call money rates by 0.12 per cent on Monday, experts said. The measures, including moves to increase the daily CRR maintenance limit to 99 per cent and bond sales through open market operations, will also help accelerate rate hike transmission, they said. The weighted average call money rate on Monday stood at 5.43 per cent against 5.31 per cent on October 9, according to the Clearing Corporation of India's (CCIL) data. Money market experts said high surplus liquidity in the banking system can weaken the transmission of a policy rate hike by reducing banks' dependence on market borrowings and allowing them to meet credit demand using readily available funds. When banks have ample liquidity, they face less pressure to raise deposit rates to attract funds, which can delay an increase in lending rates for borrowers. The excess liquidity also keeps short-term money

One year after making its UK debut, Kay Beauty is celebrating a milestone in its international journey, with Co-Founder Katrina Kaif coming to London to mark the occasion with the brands growing UK community at Space NKs Oxford Circus flagship. Co-founded by Katrina Kaif and Nykaa, Kay Beauty has spent its first year in the UK bringing its distinctive approach to performance, care and inclusive beauty to a new generation of consumers, while building a growing presence across the countrys beauty landscape. A Celebration of a Stand-Out First Year To mark Kay Beautys milestone first year in the UK, guests attended Space NKs Oxford Circus flagship store for an afternoon celebrating vibrant Diwali beauty and individual creativity. Alongside an exclusive masterclass in creating a signature Diwali Gloss Up Look, Katrina shared insights on her beauty journey, the inspiration behind Kay Beauty and the power of self-expression. Katrina Kaif, Co-Founder, Kay Beauty, said, Kay Beauty was born from the belief that beauty should feel inclusive, intuitive and deeply personal. We've always created products with South Asian skin tones and beauty needs at the heart of everything we do, and it's been incredibly rewarding to see that resonate far beyond India. Over the past year, we've loved seeing the response to Kay Beauty at Space NK, and this visit is an opportunity to build on that momentum. It's about spending time with the South Asian community that has embraced the brand, connecting with beauty enthusiasts across the UK, and continuing conversations around representation, performance and innovation in beauty. Space NK has always been a beauty playground during my visits, a space where Ive explored, experimented, and discovered so many of my favourite products, so seeing Kay Beauty continue to sit alongside some of the world's most loved beauty brands, is incredibly special. As we look ahead, we're excited to keep building a global community around the values we've always believed in - that makeup should celebrate individuality, perform beautifully, and make everyone feel seen. The first year of Kay Beauty in the UK has been an encouraging chapter in our journey as we build an Indian beauty brand with global relevance. Seeing our products become bestsellers at Space NK and the brand reach top product status on TikTok Shop within six weeks of launch has been particularly meaningful, as it reflects the connection we are building with consumers beyond our home market. The recognition as Best New Brand at the CEW UK Consumer Choice Awards 2026 is another important milestone for us. As we enter our second year, our focus is on deepening our relationship with UK consumers, continuing to bring them products that combine performance and care, and building Kay Beauty into a brand with enduring relevance globally, added Adwaita Nayar, Co-founder and Executive Director of Nykaa & CEO, House of Nykaa. The brand is now delivering an annualised NSV run rate of Rs. 300 crores (approximately 24 million), having achieved profitability within its first year of operations and continued to scale with strong business fundamentals. With nearly 3 million consumers in India, Kay Beauty has built a strong consumer franchise and is now Indias largest celebrity-led beauty brand, combining modern innovation with Indias rich beauty heritage to create high-performance, skin-friendly formulas designed for diverse complexions.

Powell, Rutherford Reprimanded For Breaching ICC Code Of Conduct In Second T20I
Emirates ICC International Panel: West Indies players Rovman Powell and Sherfane Rutherford have been handed official reprimands and one demerit point each for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the second T20I against India in Ranchi on Friday. Powell was sanctioned for hitting the ball away with his bat after being dismissed, while Rutherford was reprimanded for showing dissent at an umpires decision during the match. According to the ICC, Powell was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to the abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match. The incident occurred in the sixth over of the West Indies innings after Powell was bowled by India pacer Mayank Yadav. Rutherford, meanwhile, breached Article 2.8, which relates to showing dissent at an Umpires decision during an International Match. His offence took place in the 13th over when he yelled aggressively at the umpire after a delivery he believed was wide was ruled legitimate. Both players admitted their respective offences and accepted the sanctions proposed by Prakash Bhatt of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, eliminating the need for formal hearings. The ICC also confirmed that one demerit point had been added to the disciplinary records of both players. It was the first offence for each within a 24-month period. Talking about the match, skipper Shai Hope smashed a blistering 45-ball century before Sherfane Rutherford hammered 84 off 37 deliveries as the West Indies pulled off a sensational six-wicket victory over India in the second T20I, chasing down a daunting target of 250 to register the second-highest successful run chase in men's T20I cricket. The ICC also confirmed that one demerit point had been added to the disciplinary records of both players. It was the first offence for each within a 24-month period.

Digital Desk | Bhopal, Oct 12 (IANS) Madhya Pradesh Minister Vishwas Sarang on Monday accused the Congress of creating disorder and confusion in the country, questioning how Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra were elected to Parliament if the Election Commission of India (ECI) was functioning incorrectly. Sarang's remarks came amid the Congress-led INDIA Bloc's march towards the Supreme Court, seeking the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar over the controversy surrounding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Opposition leaders have alleged irregularities in the revision exercise and raised concerns over the electoral rolls, while the BJP has defended the process and accused the Congress of politicising the issue. Speaking to IANS, Sarang launched a sharp attack on Rahul Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader repeatedly attempted to create confusion and unrest in the country. Spreading chaos has become a habit for Rahul Gandhi. If the Election Commission was at fault, how would Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have reached the Lok Sabha, and how would your governments have been formed in Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala? Creating chaos and confusion is Rahul Gandhi's habit, and he is constantly seeking to pursue a politics of divisiveness in the country, Sarang said. The INDIA bloc leaders had also sought an appointment with Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant to discuss their concerns. However, the CJI declined their request and advised them to approach the court through a petition in accordance with the established legal procedure. Gandhi announced that Opposition leaders would march towards the apex court later in the day to initiate the legal process and appealed to citizens to join their campaign in support of the Constitution and democracy. Following this, a bus carrying Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Rahul Gandhi and other INDIA bloc leaders departed from the Constitution Club of India towards the Supreme Court. Speaking to reporters, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, We want to submit a representation to the Hon'ble Supreme Court. Therefore, the entire Opposition is collectively going to Barakhamba Road. Let's see where it goes from here. Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi alleged that the BJP was apprehensive about losing power. The BJP is scared. They know that power will not remain with them for much longer, he told the reporters.

'If votes were stolen, how did you become LoP', Union Minister asks Rahul Gandhi
Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Monday asked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi if votes were stolen, how did he become the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha. Speaking to IANS, Singh said, They are holding the Constitution in one hand while talking about destroying it. If votes were stolen, how did he become the Leader of the Opposition (LoP)? In Bihar, the Election Commission asked for evidence. Why did he not provide it? Will merely displaying the Constitution be enough? A thief is speaking out against theft. Rahul Gandhi seems to have taken it upon himself to spread lies. On the day they were marching, he claimed that 300 MPs were with them. Then why don't they bring a no-confidence motion? Now he is claiming that 200 officers are backing them. I am saying that even their own Shashi Tharoor did not join them. What is this? They want to cultivate lies. He has simply picked up a copy of the Constitution, yet he engages in actions against it, he added. Singh also attacked Congress national president Mallikarjun Kharge, saying, They spread lies and create confusion. I feel sorry for Kharge Sahib. At his age, the way he is behaving and going to such lengths to flatter people like Rahul Gandhi has crossed all limits. Rahul Gandhi only spreads lies. They want to create anarchy in the country. Singh claimed that the Opposition wants to turn the situation in our country like neighbouring nations, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Nepal where major demonstrations took place in recent years. They want to turn this country into Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or Nepal. That is their intention. The youth of the country are not with them. What did the Delhi University Students Union elections show? Recently, four by-elections were held. What did the results show?... he added. Earlier in the day, Congress workers gathered at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters and raised slogans against the Chief Election Commissioner ahead of the proposed march. The protest is part of the INDIA bloc's continuing campaign against the SIR, demanding the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner, Gyanesh Kumar.

Macworld Apples September event may not have been Apples final event of 2026. Apple has confirmed a special Welcome home Experience for Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 9am ET (2pm BST). Selected journalists have been invited to attend the gathering in New York, suggesting Apple is preparing to introduce new products focused on the smart home. Apple hasnt confirmed what it will announce, but rumors point to its long-awaited HomePad smart display, a new HomePod mini and an updated Apple TV 4K. The gathering could follow the format of Apples March Experience, with product announcements made separately and journalists invited to try the new devices. October 13 may not be Apples final launch this month: Bloombergs Mark Gurman reports that a separate Mac and iPad announcement is planned for October 27. Apple typically has four main event windows each year: a spring event, WWDC in June, the iPhone event in September , and sometimes a further event in October. The company rarely confirms dates far in advance, and theres no guarantee it will hold an event in every window. That leaves Apple fans and anyone considering a new Apple device wondering when the next event will happen and what might be announced. Fortunately, Apples annual schedule is fairly predictable, while reliable rumours often provide additional clues about whats coming. That means we can make informed estimates about the timing of future keynotes and the products most likely to appear. Heres everything we know about the next event Apple will hold and beyond. When is Apples next event? Next Apple Experience: October 13, 2026. Confirmed by Greg Joswiak on X . Apples Greg Joswiak has indicated on X that an Apple event or rather a Special Experience will take place on Tuesday, October 13. The theme appears to be Welcome Home, as you can see from this image: Apple Bloombergs Mark Gurman had claimed on X that Apple would launch its next big thing on October 13, referring to new smart-home products . The last time Apple held an October event was the Scary Fast event that took place on October 30, 2023. What could Apple launch at the next event? The rumored lineup centers on Apples first smart-home display, often called HomePad . Bloombergs Mark Gurman describes a 6-inch screen mounted above a speaker base on a manually tilting arm, plus a separate wall-mounted version. Updated HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K models with faster processors are also expected. Is Apple planning a second October event? Bloombergs Mark Gurman also reports that Apple plans another launch on October 27 , featuring Apples first touchscreen MacBook , an M6-powered 14-inch MacBook Pro, an M6 iMac and an OLED iPad mini . According to the report, Apple plans a video presentation and an in-person press gathering. The precise format remains unclear. Apple event calendar 2026: What has Apple launched this year? Timescale Event theme Dates Products March Special Experience 2-4 March Launched: iPhone 17e, MacBooks Neo, Pro & Air, iPad Air June WWDC June 8 Unveiled plans for: iOS, macOS, other software, AI and Siri September iPhone event September 9 Launched: iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Duo, new Apple Watch, AirPods 5 October Apple Experience: Welcome home October 13 (date confirmed) Possible: HomePad, HomePod mini, Apple TV October Reported Mac and iPad launch October 27 unconfirmed Rumored: touchscreen MacBook, M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, M6 iMac and OLED iPad mini Spring 2027 TBC TBC Expected: iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, iPhone Air 2 Apple has held three events so far in 2026, although the first was not an event in the traditional sense. On March 4, the company invited select media to hands-on experiences in multiple locations. In the run-up to that date, Apple launched several products via press release, including the iPhone 17e , M4 iPad Air , and M5 Pro and M5 Max MacBook Pro , M5 MacBook Air and the MacBook Neo . The second event was WWDC , which began with a keynote on June 8. At the WWDC keynote Apple outlined the upcoming changes to its operating systems, including iOS 27 and macOS 27 Golden Gate . In August Apple issued press releases to announce the new Mac mini and Mac Studio . At the September 9 event Apple unveiled the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max , a foldable iPhone Duo , a new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 , and AirPods 5. Calendars at the ready. Foundry FAQ 1. How far in advance does Apple announce an event? Apple usually announces its events around one to two weeks before they take place, although the timing varies. The October 13, 2026 Experience was announced just five days in advance. Apple also sometimes chooses to announce products via press release without holding an event. 2. What time does the next Apple event start in U.S., U.K. and other global time zones Apple has invites some members of the media to an Apple Experience in Tribeca, New York on October 13 at 9:00 am. That is 6 a.m. PDT in San Francisco and 2 p.m. BST in London. These are the times for the invited-media gathering; Apple has not confirmed a public broadcast. No start time has been announced for the separately reported October 27 launch. 3. What time do Apple events normally start in U.S., U.K. and other global time zones? The October 13 timing differs to Apples usual events, which tend to start at 10am PT or 1pm ET. That translates to the following times in the countries where most of our readers live: U.S. : 10 am PDT, 11 am MDT, 12 pm CDT, 1 pm EDT Canada : as above, plus 2 pm ADT U.K. : 6 pm Europe : 7 pm CEST, 8 pm EEST India : 10:30 pm IST Australia : next day 1 am AWST, 2:30 am ACST, 3 am AEST New Zealand : next day 5 am NZST The timings are generally the same for all Apple Keynotes, but can be slightly different if Apple holds the event during the period of a couple of weeks when the clocks have changed in the U.S. but not elsewhere (in 2026 the clocks will change in the U.S. on November 1, while in the U.K. they change on October 25). Sometimes Apple holds events at different times, for example, in October 2023 the event was held in late afternoon in San Francisco, which meant it was midnight in the U.K. If Apple doesnt hold an event and instead just issues a press release, that usually happens around 8 am PT, 11 am ET and 4 pm U.K. time. Apple keynotes usually last between one and two hours and feature the CEO alongside various other Apple executives. WWDC and the September event tend to be longer keynotes; the spring and late-fall events can be slightly shorter. For example, the September 2024 event was 1 hour 38 minutes. 4. How often does Apple hold events? There can be as many as four Apple events in a year: Spring Event WWDC in June iPhone Event in September Late Fall Event in October This event calendar is by no means set in stone, though, with the spring and October events being less regular. Some years, Apple doesnt hold a spring event at all. In 2025 Apple only held two events, preferring instead to announce new products via press release. 5. Will there be a live stream at the next Apple Event? Apple has not confirmed a public livestream for the October 13 Experience. It could publish product announcements and videos separately from the gathering for invited journalists. We do have a Welcome Home Live Blog where we will include the October 13 Event information as it happens. 6. Does Apple ever announce products without an event? Apple frequently announces products without a keynote event, often opting for press releases or multi-day announcement windows. In recent years, the company has increasingly reserved its large-scale media events for major flagship launches, such as the primary iPhone lineup in September, while using press releases for iterative updates or chip bumps that may not warrant a full hour-long presentation. 7. How to watch an Apple event Apple has not confirmed whether its October 13 Experience will be livestreamed. Unlike a traditional keynote, the gathering could be a hands-on showcase for invited journalists, with announcements published separately on Apples website. Apple events are typically broadcast across several digital platforms, allowing viewers to tune in from almost any device. While the company previously restricted access to its own hardware or the Safari browser, these barriers have been removed in recent years. You can access live Apple presentations through the following official channels: YouTube : This is often considered the easiest way to watch. Apple streams its keynotes live on its official YouTube channel, which can be accessed via any web browser or the YouTube app on smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs. Apple.com : The company hosts a dedicated Events page on its official website. For the best experience on a PC, it is recommended to use Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 or later. Apple TV App : The stream is available within the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV hardware. Keynotes are usually listed in the apps lineup a day or two before the event begins. Apple Podcasts : Apple also showcases its events through the Podcasts app on Apple devices, where you can watch the video presentation. You may also like to tune in to our Live Blog which will provide minute-by-minute text updates and analysis as products are announced. Following the end of the event, detailed breakdowns will also be available on the Macworld Podcast, which can be found on Spotify, Soundcloud, and Apple Podcasts. Will Apple have a October event in 2026? Apple Apple appears to be gearing up for a smart-home launch on October 13. The company is hostingselectedmediaatanAppleExperienceinNewYork from 9am that day. This event appears to be similar format to Apples March launches. The last time Apple held a late fall event was on October 30, 2023, and before that on October 18, 2021. So while a late fall event would not be unprecedented, it has become relatively uncommon. What to expect from Apples October 13 Experience? Apples October 13 launch could feature smart-home products, including the rumored HomePad smart display , an updated HomePod mini and a new Apple TV 4K. The HomePod mini and Apple TV are expected to gain faster processors that could support Siri AI features. It is not yet clear whether all three products would arrive together. A separate Mac and iPad launch is reportedly planned for October 27. A touchscreen MacBook , M6 14-inch MacBook Pro, M6 iMac and OLED iPad mini are rumored. For more on the possible timing and products, read: Apples October event: Latest rumors and what to expect . Will Apple hold a spring event in 2027? John Ternus: Apples new CEO. Michael Simon / Foundry Apples spring events have become increasingly unpredictable. The company has not held a traditional spring event since May 2024, although it did invite members of the media, including Macworld, to a Special Apple Experience in 2026. Rather than a keynote presentation, the March 4, 2026 gathering was a hands-on showcase that followed three days of product announcements, including the MacBook Neo, iPhone 17e, and M5 MacBook Air. Will Apple take a similar approach to spring product launches in 2027? Its certainly possible. The format appeared to work well, allowing each product announcement to receive its own media coverage rather than competing for attention during a single event. Apple is expected to release three iPhone models in spring 2027 or it could be two new iPhones, with the Air and iPhone 18 merging. iPhone 18 (base model) iPhone 18e iPhone Air 2 Apple may also update the MacBook Air with an M6 processor in spring 2027. When is WWDC 2027? Foundry When is the WWDC keynote? In 2026 the WWDC keynote was on Monday June 8. In 2025 it started on Monday June 9. We expect WWDC will start on Monday 7 June in 2027. WWDC generally runs from the Monday to Friday in the second week of June. What Apple could launch at WWDC WWDC is Apples big developer event at which it reveals plans for the operating systems that run on Apple hardware. In June 2027 we expect Apple to unveil details of iOS 28, iPadOS 28, macOS 28, updates to watchOS, tvOS, HomePod software, and an update to Apples realityOS. Apple sometimes announces new hardware at WWDC, usually the high-end models targeted at power users, so we could see new Macs. Following the keynote on Monday, developer events and sessions will run throughout the week. You can read more about WWDC date, times and everything you need to know in a separate article. What did Apple launch at past events? So far in 2026 Apple has held an experience, which rather than being an event in the traditional sense, was a chance for journalists to get a look at products Apple had launched in the days prior, including MacBook Neo and iPhone 17e. The company also hosted the WWDC keynote on June 8, at which it revealed its plans for Apple Intelligence and Siri in iOS 27, macOS 27 and the other operating systems. Plus Apple held its iPhone launch event on September 9 at which the iPhone 18 Pro and Max, iPhone Duo, Apple Watch Series 12, Apple Watch Ultra 4 and AirPods 5 launched. In 2025 Apple only held two events. The first was its Worldwide Developers Conference ( WWDC ) on June 9, at which it introduced the new features coming in the next version of its operating systems, and the second was the huge September 9 Apple Event where it launched new Apple Watches , new AirPods Pro and the new iPhones for 2025 . Apple doesnt have to hold an event to launch new products though. Prior to WWDC, Apple launched a new iPhone 16e via press release on February 19, a new iPad and iPad Air via press release on March 4, and a new MacBook Air and Mac Studio on March 5. Apple then went on to launch a new M5 MacBook Pro and M5 iPad Pro in October. No event was held to mark these launches. In 2024 , Apple held three events: one on Tuesday, May 7, at which it launched new iPads; a keynote to kick off WWDC on June 10; and an event on September 9 at which Apple unveiled the new iPhone 16 , Apple Watch Series 10 and the AirPods 4 . In October 2024 there was no event, but Apple did announce new products (iMac, Mac mini and MacBook Pro) via press release. In 2023 there were three events: WWDC in June, an iPhone event in September, and Apples second fall event on October 30 (or after midnight on October 31 if you werent in the U.S.). In 2022 Apple held three events: a spring event on March 8, WWDC on June 6, and the iPhone 14 launch on September 7. In other years Apple has held four events though.

New HomePod rumors: HomePod mini 2, HomePad and touchscreen HomePod
Macworld Apple has confirmed a Welcome home Experience in New York on Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. BST). A new HomePod mini and Apples first smart-home display are expected to feature alongside an updated Apple TV 4K. Invited journalists will attend a New York gathering. Well cover the announcement in our Welcome Home live blog . For much of 2025 and 2026, Apples revamped Siri was the thing holding those products back. Thats no longer the case: Siri AI has now arrived with Apples OS 27 updates, removing one of the biggest obstacles to launching the new hardware. The HomePod mini 2 appears to be particularly close, with Apple code discovered in September 2026 revealing images of the unreleased speaker and its five colors, while Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported in July that a new HomePod mini, Apple TV and smart home display are among Apples upcoming home products. The naming is less straightforward. HomePad, Smart Home Hub, Personal Hub and HomePod Touch are all placeholder names being used for different rumored products or concepts, rather than confirmed Apple names. In this article, were using HomePad, Smart Home Hub and Personal Hub for the standalone smart display reportedly being developed for smart-home controls, Siri AI and video calls, while HomePod Touch refers specifically to reports about a HomePod-style speaker with an integrated touchscreen. There may ultimately be some overlap between these products, and some of the rumored concepts could be combined, renamed or never released at all. Below, we separate what is currently known about each device and when it is likely to arrive. What are the new HomePod products? Apple is reportedly developing several new HomePod and smart-home products. The names below arent official Apple names; where necessary, were using placeholder names to distinguish between the different rumored devices. Placeholder name What is it When HomePod mini 2 New HomePod mini with the same basic design, new colors, faster processor and Siri AI support. October 13 announcement expected HomePad /Smart Home Hub 6-inch smart display with Siri AI, Home controls, apps and camera; tabletop and wall-mounted versions expected. October 13 announcement expected HomePod 3 Next-generation full-size HomePod with faster hardware and Siri AI support In development, but reportedly not imminent HomePod Touch HomePod with a built-in 6-inch touchscreen. Uncertain; no firm launch window Robotic home screen Display mounted on a robotic arm 2027 or beyond Security camera Apple-designed home security camera Timing uncertain LG smart-home accessories Reported Apple/LG collaboration on a doorbell, lock, thermostat and security cameras October 13 announcement rumored; availability potentially months later Why have Apples new Home products taken so long? Apples next generation of smart-home products appears to have been delayed largely because of Siri. The company was developing a much more capable version of Siri for Apple Intelligence, while the processors inside the current HomePod mini and second-generation HomePod werent designed to run Apples latest AI features. That created a problem for new HomePod hardware. Apple was reportedly preparing products such as a new HomePod mini and smart home display around the capabilities of the redesigned assistant, but Siris delayed development meant the hardware couldnt launch as originally expected. That situation has now changed. Siri AI arrived with Apples OS 27 updates in September 2026, removing one of the main dependencies that had been holding back Apples smart-home plans. Recent reports suggest the HomePod mini 2 and Apples smart home display are among the products closest to release . The full-size HomePod appears to be on a different timetable, however. Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported in September that Apple is testing a new full-size HomePod with Siri AI support, but said it doesnt appear to be imminent. That means we no longer expect the HomePod 3 to necessarily arrive alongside the HomePod mini 2. HomePod mini 2 rumors Well start off with the rumors about the HomePod mini 2. The HomePod mini is Apples smaller, more affordable smart speaker. The new model is expected to offer a new selection of colors, a major processor upgrade and improved connectivity. Foundry When is the HomePod mini 2 expected to launch? Launch : October 13 announcement expected Apple introduced the original HomePod mini in November 2020, so it is now nearly six years old and overdue for an update. Rumours of a successor have circulated for more than a year. In January 2025, reports suggested a launch toward the end of 2025 , and Bloombergs Mark Gurman subsequently said that new HomePod mini and Apple TV models were expected in fall 2025 . Those products never materialised. Attention then shifted to spring 2026, with reports suggesting Apples new smart home devices would launch alongside its redesigned Siri. However, that timetable also slipped as Apple continued work on its AI-powered assistant. The HomePod mini 2 is expected to be announced at Apples October 13 Welcome home event. Apple has invited media to an Experience, but has not yet confirmed what will launch. What changes are coming to the HomePod mini 2? Black, blue, green, pink, and white color finishes. The current HomePod mini is available in Midnight, White, Blue, Yellow and Orange. In September, MacRumors spotted Apple code that revealed five colors for the new model: black, blue, green, pink, and white. Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported in September 2025, that Apple has tested additional colors for the next-generation model, including red, but it appears that red didnt make the final cut. Otherwise, the HomePod mini 2 is expected to retain the same compact, spherical design as the current model, with no major external changes rumored. Instead, Apple is reportedly focusing on upgraded internal hardware, including an S9 or newer chip capable of supporting Apples latest Siri AI features. Other changes coming to HomePod mini 2 Beyond the color changes revealed in Apple code, the main expected hardware upgrade is a newer processor capable of supporting Siri AI. Reports also point to newer Apple networking and Ultra Wideband hardware, along with possible audio improvements. Siri AI support :A newer processor should allow the HomePod mini 2 to support Apples latest Siri AI features, something the current S5-based model wasnt designed for. Improved connectivity :Reports have pointed to Apples newer in-house networking hardware, Wi-Fi 6E and an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip. Audio improvements :Apple is expected to upgrade the speakers audio hardware and processing. Other internal upgrades :Further hardware refinements are possible. HomePad/Smart Home Hub rumors Launch : October 13 announcement expected Strategy : A new smart-home display category for Apple HomePad release date Apples first smart-home display, provisionally called HomePad, is expected to be unveiled at the confirmed October 13 Welcome home Experience. Invited journalists will attend a New York gathering, but Apple has not confirmed a public livestream. Product announcements could appear on its website alongside the media experience. Well cover the announcement in our Welcome Home live blog . The product had originally been expected earlier in 2026, but its launch was repeatedly pushed back while Apple completed the Siri AI technology that arrived with its September OS 27 updates. Gurman previously reported that the hardware had been ready for some time, with Siri the main reason for the delay. Apples own software has also provided evidence that the product is approaching launch. References discovered in macOS identify J490/HomeAccessory17,1 and J491/HomeAccessory17,2, which are believed to correspond to the tabletop and wall-mounted versions of Apples smart home hub. What is the HomePad? The HomePad also referred to as Apples Smart Home Hub or home display is expected to be a compact 6-inch smart display designed to act as a central interface for the home . It would combine Siri AI, smart-home controls, FaceTime, media playback and Apple services in a device intended to remain plugged in on a countertop, desk, bedside table or wall. The latest reports suggest that it will be considerably smaller than many earlier concept images implied. A six-inch square display would measure only about 4.25 inches across each side, making it much more of a close-up personal device than an iPad-sized family display. It is likely to be more desk scale than room scale. Apples new Siri AI is expected to be central to the HomePad experience. Its delayed development appears to have been one of the main reasons the hardware did not launch earlier. Foundry / ChatGPT HomePad design, features and specs Reported features include: 6-inch display: The latest Bloomberg report points to a six-inch display with rounded corners, making the device considerably smaller than many earlier renders suggested. iMac G4-style tabletop design : The standard model is reportedly mounted above a circular metal speaker base on a polished metal arm, with a design said to be reminiscent of the classic iMac G4. Colors : Leaker itspdfu has suggested Rose Pink, Silver, Space Gray and Starlight based on Photo Face setup assets. Tilting display : The screen is reportedly designed to tilt forward and backward manually. Wall-mounted version : A second model is reportedly designed to mount on a wall, with a thin square base containing the speakers and microphones. No battery : The device is expected to remain plugged in, reportedly using USB-C for power. Siri AI: Apples new Siri technology is expected to be central to the device. Smart-home controls: It should act as a central interface for Home accessories. FaceTime and communication : A front-facing camera is expected to support FaceTime calls. User recognition : The device is reportedly designed to recognize household members by face and voice, then display that persons own calendar, reminders, notes and other information. Visitor mode : Reports suggest it will be able to hide personal information when guests are using the device. iPhone authentication : A nearby iPhone may be used for stronger authentication when required. Other software clues and reports suggest the device could also offer: Apple apps and services : Reports specifically mention Calendar, Messages, Photos, FaceTime, Notes, Reminders, Music, Podcasts and smart-home controls. Entertainment : The device is also expected to function as an entertainment hub for streaming music and video, as well as making FaceTime calls via a built-in camera. New home-focused software : The device is reportedly running a new interface combining elements of Apple Watch, Apple TV and iPhone/iPad software, including widgets, clock faces and photo displays rather than simply running iPadOS. No App Store expected at launch : Current reports do not mention an App Store, suggesting the HomePad may initially operate more like a dedicated smart-home appliance than a general-purpose iPad. Other clues about HomePad software: Kitchen integration : A new CookingKit framework and expanded food sections in Apple News indicate that kitchen assistance, such as searching for recipes by ingredient, could be a primary selling point. Advanced home control : Code found in the iOS 26 Home app describes an Adaptive Temperature feature, which could allow the HomePad to offer more granular control over smart thermostats, including energy-saving optimizations based on local electricity rates. HomePod 3 rumors The larger HomePod is more expensive than the HomePod mini, delivering richer, louder audio with deeper bass and spatial audio. The next generation is expected to get a processor upgrade, improved connectivity and better sound. Michael Brown/Foundry When is the HomePod 3 expected to launch? Release date : Unknown; not expected imminently Bloombergs Mark Gurman reported in September 2026 that Apple was testing a new full-size HomePod with Siri AI support, but that the release did not appear to be imminent. What changes are coming to the HomePod 3? Unlike the HomePod mini 2, there are relatively few leaks about hardware upgrades coming to the full-size HomePod. However, its expected to receive the same core internal upgrades needed to support Apples AI ambitions. Expected improvements include: More powerful chip : The current HomePod uses the S7 chip from the Apple Watch Series 7. A next-generation model is expected to adopt a significantly faster Apple silicon chip, potentially the S9 or newer, to support Apple Intelligence features. Siri AI support : The upgraded hardware should allow the HomePod to run Apples new Siri AI features that arent supported by the current S7-based model. Improved Connectivity : Rumours point to Apples in-house networking chip, together with Wi-Fi 6E and an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip for improved performance and smart home integration. Audio Enhancements : Apple is also expected to refine the speaker system with upgraded drivers and audio processing. In September, a post by itspdfu , who has a history of posting leaks online, said that audioOS27, the operating system for HomePod devices, supports Siri AI. The same source claimed that a future HomePod could also include new animations for its top display. Beyond these internal upgrades, some reports suggest Apple is experimenting with a HomePod featuring a built-in display. That device is expected to be a separate product rather than a standard HomePod 3, and we cover those rumours in the next section. HomePod with touchscreen (HomePod Touch) rumors Apple has been rumored to be working on a HomePod with a screen for years, although exactly what form that product will take remains unclear. Older reports have described a HomePod-style speaker with an integrated touchscreen, sometimes referred to unofficially as a HomePod Touch. There is considerable uncertainty here because some older reports about a HomePod with a display may describe the same product that more recent reports characterize as Apples HomePad or smart home hub. We are treating the HomePod Touch separately here only where reports specifically describe a HomePod-style speaker with an integrated screen. Foundry and Apple When could the touchscreen HomePod launch? Possible launch : Unknown Apple has been working on redesigning the HomePod to include a display for some time. Back in March 2023, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claimed Apple would unveil a redesigned HomePod featuring a 7-inch panel. Kuo initially expected this product to arrive in the first half of 2024, but that timeline slipped. In December 2024, he reported further delays had pushed the launch to after WWDC 2025 , citing software development challenges. Then, in March 2025, Kuo suggested the device had been delayed again, due to Apple Intelligence setbacks . Those predictions have all passed without a product appearing. Siri AI has since arrived, but there is currently no firm report giving this touchscreen HomePod a new launch date. It is therefore possible that earlier reports referred to a product that has evolved, been delayed further, or overlaps with Apples separately reported HomePad project. HomePod with display incoming? Foundry What could the touchscreen HomePod be like? Display size: 6 and 7-inch touchscreens. Software : Custom touchscreen operating system running apps like Weather, Calendar, Photos, HomeKit as well as Apple Music One of the biggest limitations of todays HomePod is that almost every interaction relies on Siri. A built-in display would provide a more direct way to control music, manage smart home devices and access information, putting Apples device in direct competition with the Amazon Echo Show and Google Nest Hub. According to current rumours, Apples display-equipped HomePod will feature a 6-7-inch touchscreen and run a touch-optimised version of homeOS, allowing it to function as both a smart speaker and a smart home hub. Unlike existing HomePods, it is expected to use a far more powerful A-series chip possibly an A18 or similar to support Apples redesigned AI-powered Siri and the more demanding graphical interface. Rumoured features: Large touchscreen : A 6-7-inch display for controlling smart home devices, viewing photos, checking the weather, following recipes and interacting with apps. Powerful Apple silicon : An A-series chip is expected to replace the S-series processor used in current HomePods, providing the performance needed for Apple Intelligence and the touchscreen interface. Smart-home controls : A touchscreen HomePod would logically offer easier access to Home controls, although reports about apps and a dedicated smart-home interface may refer instead to Apples separate HomePad project Improved connectivity : Apples in-house networking chip, Wi-Fi 6E and an upgraded Ultra Wideband chip are all rumoured. FaceTime camera : Reports suggest Apple may include a built-in camera for FaceTime and other video-based features. These could instead relate to Apples separate HomePad project. Possible modular design : Some less-established reports have suggested that a display could dock with a speaker base. This has not been corroborated by the more recent reports describing Apples HomePad. If accurate, this would represent Apples biggest expansion of the HomePod lineup since its debut, transforming it from a voice-first speaker into a full smart home controller. Amazon Echo Show beside the HomePod mini, Ben Patterson/Foundry Apple robotic home display rumors Possible launch : 2027 or later Strategy : A premium smart-home device with a movable display Apple is also developing a much more ambitious smart-home device that shouldnt be confused with the HomePad expected first (see above). As far back as April 2021, Mark Gurman described a high-end device combining a HomePod speaker, a touchscreen, and a camera mounted on a robotic arm that could follow the user around the room during video calls. Gurman has made various references to this over the years. The device, previously identified as J595, is reportedly an iPad-like display attached to a motorized robotic arm . The arm would allow the screen to move and reposition itself, potentially following a person around the room during FaceTime calls or turning toward whoever is speaking. Bloomberg has described it as a higher-end smart-home command center that could combine videoconferencing, home controls and security functions. Unlike the stationary HomePad, this appears to be a significantly more complexand probably more expensiveproduct. Earlier reports have suggested a price that could reach around $1,000. The robotic display is also believed to be further away than the HomePad . Previous reports placed it in late 2026 or 2027 at the earliest, and Apples more recent software leaks have focused on the J490 and J491 stationary home hubs rather than J595. What could the robotic display do? Reported capabilities include: A large display mounted on a motorized arm. Automatically turning toward the person using it. FaceTime and other video calling. Siri AI and smart-home controls. Cameras and gesture recognition Reports suggest cameras could support FaceTime, security monitoring and potentially recognition of users or gestures. Apple has also previously filed patents describing HomePod-related gesture controls, although patents do not necessarily indicate features destined for a shipping product. Associated LG accessories There is a rumor that LG accessories could accompany Apples smart-home launch Bloombergs Mark Gurman reports that Apple is working with LG on a doorbell, smart lock, thermostat and security cameras . These accessories could be announced on October 13, but reportedly would not reach customers for several more months. The products are expected to carry LG branding, with LG handling manufacturing and support. They are separate from the Apple-branded accessories also rumored to be in development. A separate leak from itspdfu points to an LG temperature and humidity sensor. What chips will power the new HomePods? The biggest limitation of todays HomePods isnt their speakers its their processors. The HomePod mini still uses the Apple Watch S5 chip introduced in 2019, while the second-generation HomePod runs on the newer, but still relatively modest, S7 chip from the Apple Watch Series 7. Those chips are powerful enough for music playback, Home controls and existing Siri functions, but they were not designed to run the new Siri AI capabilities introduced with Apples OS 27 generation. That hardware gap helps explain why Apple is expected to introduce new HomePod hardware rather than bringing the full Siri AI experience to the existing models. HomePod mini 2 & HomePod 3 Gurman has said the main hardware change he has specifically reported for the new HomePods is a faster chip, although he has not identified which processor Apple will use. HomePod with a screen The display-equipped HomePod is expected to require substantially more processing power than Apples existing smart speakers. Because it will reportedly run a touch-based operating system alongside Apple Intelligence, most analysts expect it to use an A-series processor, with an A17 Pro or A18 among the leading predictions. Apple has not confirmed the chip, and these reports remain speculative. Whatever processors Apple ultimately chooses, the goal appears to be the same across the entire HomePod range: replacing ageing Apple Watch chips with modern Apple silicon capable of delivering the full Apple Intelligence experience. New HomePod Prices The prices for the HomePods increased in June 2026: HomePod: $349/349 (was $299/299) HomePod mini: $129/129 (was $99/99) Apple raised HomePod prices in June 2026, so we wouldnt expect the new models to return automatically to the previous $99/$299 price points. However, a HomePod with a built-in screen could command a higher price. It may launch as a separate product altogether, potentially starting around $399/399, or higher, depending on features. Buying advice: Should you wait or buy a HomePod now? Wait if: You are considering a HomePod mini and can postpone your purchase until after October 13. A replacement is expected at Apples gathering, so waiting will let you assess any announcement before choosing between the current and new models. Buy now if: You need a HomePod immediately and find a worthwhile discount. The current HomePod and HomePod mini still work well as speakers and smart-home hubs, but their older processors mean they arent designed for Apples newer Siri AI capabilities. If you want a screen: Wait. Apples first dedicated home display appears much closer than the more speculative touchscreen HomePod. What is on Apples Smart Home Roadmap October 13, 2026 : Apples Welcome home Experience is confirmed. HomePod mini 2 and the HomePad smart display are expected announcements, alongside an updated Apple TV 4K. Beyond 2026: A new full-size HomePod is being tested, but Bloomberg reports that it does not appear imminent. 2027 or later: Apples more ambitious robotic home display could follow. Timing unknown: Apple is also reportedly developing home-security camera hardware.
