9to5Mac Daily: October 13, 2026 – HomeView, Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini

Apple has unveiled three new products: HomeView, HomePod mini 2, and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Pre-orders are now available for these devices at major retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy. It's worth noting that MacRumors is an affiliate partner with some of these vendors, which earns revenue when readers make purchases through their links.

Amazon is offering the HomeView in all four colors at a price of $299, with an expected delivery date of November 13. Unfortunately, the HomeView (Wall Mounted) variant is not available for pre-order on Amazon; you'll need to visit Apple.com for that option. Pre-orders for the HomeView can also be found at Best Buy and B&H Photo, with the added benefit of in-store pick-up.

Apple TV 4K has received an upgrade, featuring an A19 chip, advanced Siri AI, an updated Siri Remote with Find My support, and more. Pre-orders for the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K are available at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Best Buy, all priced at $299 ahead of its launch on November 13. The HomePod mini 2, which launches earlier than the other products on October 30, is available for pre-order at $149 from Best Buy and B&H Photo.

They have added new Green and Pink color options to the lineup. For further details on each of these new devices, be sure to check out MacRumors' articles on the launch of the HomeView, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K.

  • Custom WordPress sites outperformed theme demos in performance tests
  • Half of custom optimised sites achieved Core Web Vitals score of 90 or above
  • Plugin count was a key factor, with custom sites averaging 9.3 plugins
