Apple HomeView accessories will expand what is possible with the home hub
Choosing USB-C connections for both the audio base and wall-mounted Apple HomeView means accessory makers will be able to make bespoke products that transform the 7-inch tablet.Apple HomeView will gain new features thanks to third-party accessoriesIf you were excited for a portable Apple Home hub display that could be carried through your home, don't give up hope just yet. Since Apple utilized USB-C ports for HomeView, accessories will open up a lot more options for the product.Apple might only sell the HomeView in two configurations, but these aren't the limits of this device.

HomePod Mini 2 Works as Default Speaker With Select Macs
The new HomePod mini 2 can be used as a default speaker on all Mac models with Wi-Fi 6E or later, according to Apple. You can use a single HomePod, or a pair for stereo sound.
The previous-generation HomePod mini can also be used as a Mac's speaker via AirPlay, but it cannot be set as the default audio output. AirPlay can also introduce audio latency.Related Roundup: HomePod miniTag: HomePod Mini 2Buyer's Guide: HomePod Mini (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "HomePod Mini 2 Works as Default Speaker With Select Macs" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums

Elevation Lab Pulls AirTag Silencer After Stalking Concerns
Earlier this year, Elevation Lab announced the launch of a "Silencer" for AirTag meant to pierce the speaker on the device to disable the sound.
Elevation Lab explained that it created the Silencer to keep thieves from detecting an AirTag on valuable products like bikes, but the company didn't think easy speaker removal would be problematic.
The AirTag plays a sound when it is away from its owner to alert users that a tracker might be following them. AirTags have been criticized for making stalking simple, and Apple has improved safety features multiple times since the trackers launched in 2021. The latest AirTag 2 even has a louder speaker and more adhesive to make the speaker harder to remove.
We did not cover the launch of the Elevation Lab Silencer because we didn't want to publicize an accessory that does away with the AirTag's anti-stalking feature, and Elevation Lab must have heard several complaints. Six Colors' Glenn Fleishman, for example, said the device was "appalling." When he

iOS 27.2 Beta 4 Removes New Health App
The iOS 27.2 beta Apple released today removes the updated Health app that Apple was testing in earlier betas.
The app's disappearance from the iOS 27.2 beta is not a surprise because the company made it clear that the updated Health experience was never meant to be included in iOS 27.2. Apple told MacRumors the Health app was being tested in the beta, but wouldn't launch until later in the year.
After upgrading to the fourth beta, the Health app has a popup that says the new app features will come in a future update. Data collected during the beta remains available in the Settings app.
Apple is planning to release iOS 27.2 later in October, and the removal of the Health app suggests a launch is getting closer. The HomePod mini 2 that launches on October 30 uses HomePod software 27.2, so the updates will need to come out before that date.Related Roundups: iOS 27, iPadOS 27Related Forum: iOS 27This article, "iOS 27.2 Beta 4 Removes New Health App" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this articl

iOS 27.2 beta 4: Apple Music goes black-and-white, Apple Health redesign pulled
While iOS 27.2 beta 4 brought a new look for Apple Music and a reference to a new HomePod setting, it also curiously removed an upcoming Apple Health upgrade. Here's what you need to know.Apple's redesigned Health app is missing from the fourth beta of iOS 27.2.On Tuesday, shortly after unveiling its HomeView and other smart home products, Apple deployed the fourth developer beta of iOS 27.2. The beta software update bears the build number 24B5110a, up from 24B5099f.In a particularly noticeable visual change, iOS 27.2 beta 4 removes all color from the Apple Music icon. Now, it's just a black musical note on a white background, or inverted in dark mode, rather than the white and red look the icon has used since iOS 14.

iPhone Duo Will Have Day-One iOS 27.1 Update
The iPhone Duo ships with iOS 27.1, a version of iOS 27 exclusive to the foldable device. Apple yesterday released a new build of iOS 27.1 (24A94425), which means buyers will have a day-one software update to install.
The iPhone Duo is shipping with iOS 27.1 build 24A94232, and if it's not already in the hands of reviewers, it will be soon. Apple likely released the new build to address bugs while the Duo is being evaluated by members of the media.
Since the iPhone Duo isn't coming out until October 23, there's plenty of time for Apple to release another iOS 27.1 update or even iOS 27.2. Buyers might not have the 24A94425 update to install if it's replaced by something newer, but either way, there will be an update required during the iPhone Duo setup process.
Pre-orders for the iPhone Duo begin on Friday, October 16, at 5 a.m. Pacific Time or 8 a.m. Eastern Time. It will launch on Friday, October 23.
If you're planning to pre-order the iPhone Duo, you can use Apple's Get Ready process

No biometrics are needed for HomeView to show a user's personal data
Users of the HomeView will see a lot of personalized content on the display if it recognizes you. However, it will rely on your other Apple devices to do that.HomeView will check you're nearby before showing things like personal calendars. The HomeView is billed as the center of a smart home, but it will also try to be at the heart of the lives of its users. As well as dealing with FaceTime calls and playing music, it will be providing access to personal content for each of its users.The device is capable of recognizing up to six people, Apple claims, with each getting their own personalized Home Screen.

Apple Releases New AirPods Beta Firmware
Apple today released new beta firmware for the AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4, AirPods 5, and AirPods Max 2. The firmware has a build number of 9B5043a and is rolling out for developers.
There's no word on what's included in the firmware update because Apple doesn't offer notes for AirPods beta releases.
When the AirPods are connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac running iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later, there is a beta firmware option that can be accessed in the AirPods settings interface. Toggling on beta updates allows users to install the beta firmware.
Firmware updates can then be downloaded by connecting the AirPods to an Apple device and connecting them to power. It can take a few hours for new firmware to be installed because there is no software update option like there is for other Apple devices.Related Roundup: AirPods 5Buyer's Guide: AirPods (Buy Now)Related Forum: AirPodsThis article, "Apple Releases New AirPods Beta Firmware" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this

HomeView Runs Third-Party Apps From Your iPhone or iPad
The new Apple HomeView comes preinstalled with a selection of Apple apps, such as Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple News, Calendar, FaceTime, and Messages, but it will also support third-party audio and video apps.
Apple did not create an App Store for the HomeView, so there is no on-device way to download apps. It instead uses a CarPlay-like system where third-party apps will be displayed when the HomeView is connected to a compatible iPhone or iPad.
Audio apps made for CarPlay like Spotify and Audible will also work on the HomeView, and developers will be able to extend HomeView support to existing iOS video apps.
Up to six people in a household can use HomeView, and it tells users apart by voice and through the camera built into the front of the device.

New Apple TV 4K Supports Surround Sound via Four HomePods
As was rumored prior to today's announcements, the new Apple TV 4K can connect to up to four HomePods in front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right positions, enabling an all-Apple surround sound system for home theater setups.
You can connect four of the new HomePod mini 2 speakers to the new Apple TV 4K, or you can mix and match pairs of HomePod mini 2 and full-sized HomePod 2 speakers, so long as the front and rear pairs of speakers match. For example, you can have two full-sized HomePod 2 speakers up front and two HomePod mini 2 speakers in the rear.
Apple is relying on computational audio. The company says the four HomePods and the new Apple TV 4K can "intelligently recognize each speaker's position in the room, so audio timing and levels are automatically calibrated to the space."
All previous Apple TV 4K models remain limited to two HomePods for stereo sound.
The new Apple TV 4K is available to pre-order starting today and launches Friday, November 13. In the U.S., pricing is set

HomeView Can Dim to Apple's Lowest-Ever Display Brightness
The HomeView can dim its display to just 0.3 nits for use on a nightstand or in dark environments, making it Apple's lowest-ever display brightness.
The 7-inch Liquid Retina display automatically adjusts its brightness as lighting conditions change, reaching up to 500 nits in bright rooms. Its 0.3-nit minimum allows it to dim substantially at night. True Tone also helps the screen adapt to changing ambient light.
Previously, Apple's dimmest display technology went down to just 1 nit. This feature debuted on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, and subsequently came to the iPhone.
The tabletop HomeView model features a stainless steel hinge that lets users tilt the display as required. Its interface responds to distance, showing simpler information from across the room and more detail as users move closer.

Users can activate the voice assistant by saying "Hey Siri" or "Siri," including while a movie or TV show is playing. Apple says advanced echo cancellation separates the user's voice from background sound, helping the device recognize requests over the TV's audio.
The microphones also enable hands-free control of compatible smart home accessories and scenes. With Siri AI, users can search for entertainment conversationally and ask follow-up questions about what they are watching, with answers appearing in a compact overlay over the video.
Apple says the new Apple TV 4K and its A19 chip include Secure Exclaves, which are protected processing environments that handle microphone data separately from the rest of the system. According to Apple, data processed and analyzed inside these environments cannot be acces

HomeView's lack of an App Store is an Achilles' heel
For all the obvious benefits, Apple's new HomeView appears immediately and unnecessarily stunted by not allowing users to install any apps at all.The new HomeView next to a first-generation HomePod mini.

Apple Shares Videos for HomeView, Apple TV 4K, and HomePod Mini 2
Apple today shared four new videos on its YouTube channel highlighting the newly announced HomeView smart home hub, fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini 2.
The longest video, "Welcome Apple HomeView: Designed for life at home," follows a family through a busy morning. It shows Siri helping retrieve a French toast recipe sent in Messages, locate misplaced keys, and check evening plans, alongside a FaceTime call with grandparents.
A second, shorter HomeView video provides an overview of the device's features, including personalized experiences for up to six users, FaceTime calls, Spatial Audio, and smart home controls. It also highlights the 7-inch Liquid Retina display and its customizable collection of display faces.
The HomePod mini 2 video focuses on the speaker's sound and compact design, showing its green, pink, blue, midnight, and white finishes. It also promotes multiroom audio and Siri AI, which Apple says will arrive on HomePod mini 2 in a future software update.

Apple Details HomeView's Audio Hardware
Apple's new HomeView supports Spatial Audio, with different speaker systems for its tabletop and wall-mounted models.
The tabletop model features two custom full-range drivers in its display, with a down-firing woofer and two force-canceling passive radiators housed in the domed base. Apple says this arrangement delivers clear sound with extended bass, distributing the audio hardware between the screen and its stand.
The HomeView's A18 chip and built-in sensors power computational audio that continuously adjust loudness and bass response. According to Apple, this processing helps maintain consistent, balanced sound at different volume levels.
The wall-mounted HomeView uses two custom drivers and computational audio tuned specifically for placement on a wall, but lacks the added speaker hardware in the tabletop models' base. It still supports Spatial Audio.
For music playback, HomeView supports multiroom audio alongside other HomeView devices, HomePod, HomePod mini, and AirPlay-compatible speak

HomeView's Wall Model: Pay More, Get Less Speaker
Apple offers two versions of the HomeView, one that can be mounted on the wall and one that's a standalone model with a speaker base. The wall-mounted version and the speaker version are both priced at $299, with no discount for the base-free model.
Wall mounting is the more expensive option because most buyers will need hardware that's sold separately and is currently priced starting at $60. There are three options for mounting the HomeView on the wall.
Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector ($59.95) - The USB-C mount is from Schneider Home, and Apple says it is a self-install mount. It uses a standard USB-C cable that goes to a power adapter, which the user also needs to supply. It requires a 20W or higher power adapter.
Power Mount AC Wired ($79.95) - The AC Wired mount uses in-wall power so there's no visible cable. Apple recommends having it installed by a licensed electrician and is partnering with ADT to offer installation services.

HomeView Touts These 5 Privacy Features
Apple uses a number of methods to keep HomeView users' personal information private, even when a whole household shares the device.
The device recognizes up to six people, giving each their own Home Screen with personalized apps and widgets. Apple says personal content stays private to each user, while shared photo albums and music can remain available to everyone in the household, including guests.
For content from apps such as Messages and Calendar to appear, HomeView must recognize the enrolled user's face, and their paired iPhone or iPad normally needs to be present and recently unlocked.
There is an exception when the paired iPhone or iPad disconnects from Wi-Fi. Personal information may remain accessible if the HomeView still recognizes the user and the paired device was recently connected to the same Wi-Fi network, has an active cellular connection, remains in the same location, and has been recently unlocked.

Europe's clashing with Apple means no HomeView for the EU
Apple already denies European users Siri AI because of regulatory disputes, but now for the first time its hardware is being affected with no EU release for the HomeView.HomeView is a hardware Siri AI device, and Siri AI is not available in the EU - image credit: Apple.The short version is that the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) requires Apple to provide rivals with full access to its technology from day one. Apple argues that no other firm has this burden, and moreover that it dramatically compromises users' privacy.This is why users in the EU have not had features ranging from iPhone Mirroring and Mac Live Activities, to Siri AI. And it's now why they will not get the new HomeView, at least not at first, and possibly not ever. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

Despite featuring an A18 chip and built-in Apple Intelligence support, Apple's new HomeView still depends on a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad for several features.

These capabilities include retrieving relevant information from Messages and Calendar, as well as taking action across apps using the user's personal context.

Apple präsentiert "HomeView" – die Zentrale für das Smart Home
Viele Jahre wurde Apple nachgesagt, das Thema "Smart Home" verschlafen zu haben. Zunächst waren strategische Fehlentscheidungen dafür verantwortlich, denn den anfangs für HomeKit‑Accessoires vorgeschriebenen Authentifizierungs-Chip verweigerten viele Anbieter. Später ließ Apple hingegen zu wenig Interesse an jenem Markt erkennen, weswegen sich Amazon und Co. mit unzähligen Produkten zu einer fe

BOE's Cracking Glass Problem Threatens OLED iPad Supply Plans
Repeated glass breakages at BOE's new OLED factory have persisted for roughly six months, potentially hindering its attempt to win iPad display orders from Apple, The Elec reports.
The Chinese display maker apparently only recently begun Apple's panel qualification process. According to the report, the manufacturing difficulties could either postpone orders or prevent BOE from securing them.
A broken sheet of glass can leave production equipment unavailable for between half a day and a full day as workers remove fragments and check the machinery. That makes the issue disruptive even when most substrates pass through the line without breaking.
Sources cited by the publication warned that two or three breakages among 1,000 substrates could still interfere with mass production. The impact extends beyond the loss of the damaged sheet, because other production cannot proceed through the affected equipment during recovery. Sources said these incidents need to be almost entirely eliminated for continuous

iPhone Takes Bigger Slice of a Shrinking Smartphone Market
Apple's share of worldwide smartphone shipments rose to a third-quarter record of 22% in the third quarter of 2026, despite a decline in its own iPhone shipments, according to preliminary figures from Counterpoint Research.
Apple finished the quarter just behind Samsung, which accounted for 23% of shipments. Across the industry, manufacturers shipped 20% fewer smartphones than a year earlier, taking the July-to-September total to its lowest level since 2012.
Apple's launch plan was a significant factor in its lower shipment volume this year. With no standard iPhone 18 arriving alongside the iPhone 18 Pro models in September, Counterpoint said Apple supplied fewer new devices to retail channels than during last year's iPhone 17 lineup launch.
The research firm nevertheless reported a better debut for the iPhone 18 Pro models than for the previous Pro generation, with sales in China and India standing out. Demand for the iPhone 17 also continued to support shipments.

Zimacube 2 review: A tinkerer's NAS, at a good price point
The ZimaCube 2 is a six-bay NAS with no software lock-in. At $799, the Standard model suits tinkerers, though the company's Thunderbolt connection claims aren't accurate.ZimaCube 2 reviewOnce upon a time, I had a spare PowerMac 6500. Maybe it was a Performa — that specific is lost to me. This was just-pre MP3 explosion, but I still was generating a lot of data that I'd prefer not lurk constantly on my PowerBook 3400 first, then original PowerBook G3. What to do?Then, in about the winter of 2002, hardware started aging less gracefully. The 6500 didn't boot one day, so the project to move the home server to a Beige G3 accelerated. Then a series of G4 towers, and more hard drives than was thermally wise in a 1,1 Mac Pro. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

In the meantime, Epic seems desperate to speed up discovery in light of this monumental decision.According to a joint filing from both Apple and Epic, there seems to be some dispute on the state of document production and discovery.
