Apple is preparing for major changes to its stores in anticipation of the launch of new home products, according to a report by Tech Unlimited.

Apple is set to make significant changes to its stores in preparation for the launch of new home products, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg.

Apple is expected to release updated versions of Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini this fall, but the extensive changes the company is planning inside the stores suggest that a third, more significant product may be on the way.

Apple has delayed several smart home products for years due to delays in developing a new version of Siri. With the development process nearing completion, it appears that the company is finally preparing to launch these products to market.

Previous reports indicate that Apple was planning to release Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini first, with the screen-equipped Smart Home Hub arriving later. However, new preparations inside the stores suggest that all three products could be launched together.

The anticipated changes include rearranging some store sections and adding dedicated spaces for displaying accessories and new products. Gurman believes that the scale of these modifications appears to be more than a routine update, reinforcing the likelihood of an imminent launch of the long-awaited Smart Home Hub.

This device is expected to come with a 7-inch square screen, with one version featuring an integrated speaker and another with a rear magnet for wall mounting. It will run on a new operating system that supports mini tools, FaceTime calls, and smart home device management via Siri, along with the A18 processor.

Apple TV 4K's new remote control may also get an update, but details about the changes are still unclear.
