MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris found images inside Apple's code showing a HomePod mini in five colors, including three new ones — green, pink, and blue — alongside existing white and black options. The same leak also revealed a fourth-generation Apple TV 4K that appears to keep its current external design, with no other specifications disclosed.
Ahead of its 'Surprise and Shine' event, Apple has quietly added nearly 40 hardware identifiers to its backend systems, covering iPhones, Macs, iPads, Apple Watches, Apple TV, and a HomeAccessory category. Notably, seven iPhone identifiers appeared even though only six models are currently expected in the iPhone 18 lineup, suggesting either an unannounced variant or a surprise new device.
A code discovery by developer Aaron Perris references an unreleased Apple TV model tagged 'AppleTV18,1,' suggesting it will use the A19 or A19 Pro chip rather than the previously rumored A17 Pro. This naming pattern mirrors identifiers used for last year's iPhone 17 lineup, where the A19 Pro powered the higher-end models.
