A new Apple TV 4K set-top box and new HomePod minis will launch on Friday, October 30, according to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman in his latest Power On newsletter. 

He said that both devices will ship to customers and arrive in Apple retail stores on that day. And both are expected to be unveiled at Tuesday’s “Welcome Home.”

The new ‌HomePod mini‌ and ‌Apple TV‌ set-top box aren’t expected to have any designs changes. According to Gurman, the former will pack an S10 processor (up from the S5 chip in the current model) and will be available in green, pink, blue, white, and midnight.

Gurman says the Apple TV 4K revamp will will be equipped with an A19 chip, which has 8GB of RAM. It may have built-in microphones for Siri AI and should come with an updated Siri Remote with a built-in speaker that makes it easier to find.
