A new Apple TV and HomePod mini could launch as soon as this month, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman today suggested.
In today's "Power On" newsletter, Gurman said that Apple retail stores are planning an overnight refresh on the evening of November 11, where changes will be made after closing, such as refreshing displays and placing new products for the following day.
The timing of the overnight refresh could simply be related to the holiday season, but there is a possibility that it relates to the launch of new Apple TV and HomePod mini models. Gurman notes that inventory of current models has become tight, likely signaling that new versions are on the way. He added that even if they do not launch by the end of 2025, they "shouldn't be far off."
The new Apple TV and HomePod mini will apparently "help showcase the new Siri and Apple Intelligence features planned for next year." During its earnings call earlier this week, Apple seemingly suggested that any more new Macs are off the table for the rest of 2025, making the new Apple TV and HomePod mini the most likely candidates for any remaining Apple product releases this year.

It’s clear these products will be released before the end of the year. The holidays are right around the corner, which is typically Apple’s biggest sales period. If stock levels are dropping and not being replenished, Apple wouldn’t let that happen unless a refresh is imminent.
amazing how these people at Bloomberg still get paid real money writing things like “Apple will launch something next week but if it doesn’t happen it will happen eventually”. Always have some get out of jail card. So what is the point of anything you write then? I mean everyone knows that something will happen eventually 🤣
Never going to happen in a million years, you're lucky to even get ports these days. They removed USB-C and Optical out for the Apple TV, so no chance.
