Apple's smart home hub could arrive next month

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as Apple preparing a smart-home hub debut around Oct. 13, and both 9to5Mac and Engadget mention a six-inch display. 9to5Mac is the only one to foreground the iMac G4-inspired design and the HomePod mini update with new colors, while Bloomberg Technology is the only extract to mention a code name, J490, and a new TV set-top box.
