Apple isn’t done announcing new products in 2026. After unveiling the iPhone Duo and more at its September 9 event, the company is back with its “Welcome Home” event on Tuesday, October 13. Apple marketing chief Greg Joswiak revealed the date on X with a short teaser video of an embroidered rainbow Apple logo and the message “Welcome home.”

Bloomberg reports that the event will focus on smart home products. They include a smart home display rumored as the HomePad, a HomePod mini refresh, a new Apple TV 4K and smart home accessories co-developed with LG. The “Welcome Home” name fits that lineup. This won’t be at Apple Park in Cupertino. Apple is holding an “Apple Experience” in Tribeca, New York, starting at 9:00 a.m. ET. Apple hasn’t said how viewers can watch, and we’ll update this post as details come in.
