Leak suggests new iPad mini arrives next month alongside updated HomePod
Fresh leaks indicate an eighth-generation iPad mini and a refreshed HomePod mini are scheduled to launch in October.
Code reveals upcoming tablet design
Apple code references spotted by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris point to an eighth-generation iPad mini. The device features a landscape front-facing camera and a speaker groove at the top of the display. This model would succeed the seventh generation which launched in October 2024.
Launch timing matches previous cycles
Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman states the device could launch next month. This schedule aligns with the October release dates of several prior iPad mini models. The new tablet might also include water resistance as an upgrade.
HomePod mini update expected
Reports suggest a new HomePod mini is coming to market alongside the tablet. Some rumors mention potential new colors for the speaker. These products would arrive during the era of the folding iPhone Duo.
