Home products are expected, but Apple hasn't named them.
Apple has not said what it will announce. 9to5Mac and MacRumors expect new home hardware, including a new Apple TV 4K, a smart home hub that 9to5Mac calls "HomePad," and a HomePod mini 2.

MacRumors reports the home hub would be a cross between an iPad and a HomePod, with a 6-inch square display, wall-mounted and speaker-base versions, and pricing that could be around $350. It also reports the HomePod mini would get new colors, Apple's N1 networking chip and a faster S-series processor, and the Apple TV 4K would get an A19 or A19 Pro chip, more RAM, the N1 chip and an upgraded Siri Remote.

Other possible launches remain unconfirmed.
