About you Apple is planning to introduce several new products for the smart home on October 13th, has been rumored quite intensively in recent days. However, it has not been clear at all how it will show them to the world. The plan was for classic press releases supplemented with short videos, a pre-recorded presentation or some form of meeting with journalists. Very well-informed reporter Mark Gurman from BloombergHowever, he has now made a rather interesting clarification. In his latest newsletter Power On, he directly stated that Apple planned for Tuesday, October 13th "event". Sance that we really expect some form of next week Apple Eventu, is therefore suddenly significantly higher.

What exactly do we mean by the word "event" to introduce, Gurman has not yet specified, which I personally would consider a small catch. Apple in the past he was able to introduce very important products without the classic Keynote and for example the first AirPods Pro whether AirPods Max stated simply through press releases that accompanied the "eventy” for journalists. Moreover, smart home is still a relatively marginal category in its portfolio. On the other hand, a completely new product is to arrive this time in the form of the long-awaited HomeA pad with a display and its own user interface, so at least a shorter pre-recorded presentation would definitely make sense here.

But will we really see a classic on October 13th? Keynote in the form we are used to, for example, when introducing iPhones, is not yet certain. In any case, the new formulation by reporter Mark Gurman suggests that Apple is preparing something more than just a few press releases in the Newsroom. Moreover, if the event is really going to take place next Tuesday, we shouldn't have to wait too long for its eventual official announcement. Just to give you an idea – invitations to the presentation of the new generation iPhone sends out Apple two weeks in advance, while we are only 8 days away from October 13. For this reason, I personally wouldn't expect anything grand, but I would love to be wrong.
