GoKawiilApple gearing up to launch iPhone Ultra, HomePad and new Apple TV 4K
Apple is preparing a wave of over ten new products, including its first foldable iPhone, dubbed iPhone Ultra, a long-rumored smart home hub called HomePad, and a refreshed Apple TV 4K. The HomePad, first detailed by Mark Gurman in late 2024, was delayed by Siri AI setbacks but now appears close to release alongside other Home products.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
These launches mark Apple's most significant hardware push in years, testing whether it can catch up in foldables and finally deliver a serious smart home platform. Success or failure here could reshape how Apple competes against Samsung in foldables and Amazon/Google in connected homes.
- iPhone Ultra will be Apple's first foldable device, blending iPhone and iPad mini functionality.
- HomePad has been delayed by Siri AI issues but is now expected to launch soon.
- A new Apple TV 4K may include AI features and possibly a camera for FaceTime.
Apple HomePod mini — While you wait for the rumored HomePad, the HomePod mini is Apple's current compact smart speaker and a natural entry point into a Siri-driven smart home. It plays Apple Music, handles HomeKit accessories, and pairs with other HomePods for multiroom audio.
