Apple announces special event for October 13: ‘Welcome home’

What the coverage shows

All three outlets converge on Apple’s October 13 event and the “Welcome home” tagline, with 9to5Mac and Engadget both keeping the focus tightly on the announcement itself. The Verge goes further than the others by framing it as a “surprise” launch event in New York and, in its extract, also mentions rumor about smart home-focused products. Engadget is the only outlet here that explicitly foregrounds smart home devices in the headline.
