Apple code reveals details of upcoming iPad mini, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K
Apple code offers a glimpse at three products that could be announced in the coming weeks.
Apple may have accidentally given us an early look at three of its upcoming products.
References and images found in Apple’s own software code appear to reveal details about the next-generation iPad mini, HomePod mini 2, and Apple TV 4K.

The next-generation iPad mini will feature a landscape-oriented front-facing camera, similar to the current lineup of iPads.
Based on an image found in Apple’s code, there is a small cut-out at the top of the screen for the speaker system. The tablet will also be powered by the A20 Pro chip – the same chip that powers the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max.
HomePod mini gets new colours
The HomePod mini 2 appears to be getting a more modest refresh.
Apple’s compact smart speaker has remained largely unchanged since its launch six years ago, and the next-generation model is reportedly sticking with the same basic design. The main visible change could be a wider range of colours, including green, pink, blue, white, and black
Apple TV 4K gets internal upgrades
The next Apple TV 4K is also expected to retain the current design, but could receive several meaningful internal upgrades.
The device is tipped to feature an A17 Pro chip or newer, along with 8GB of RAM so that it can support Apple Intelligence and the more capable Siri AI. It could also gain Apple’s N1 networking chip and a revised Siri Remote.
These three products may only be the beginning. Apple is reportedly preparing five other products before the end of the year, including new MacBook Pro models, an iMac refresh and a new pair of over-ear headphones.
