🏠🍎 Apple's Home Hub could be almost here — and this week we've learned a LOT more about it! Last week on iWeekly, we asked whether Apple was finally getting serious about the smart home. This week? We're about to find out. New reports have potentially revealed the colours, setup process and software experience of Apple's upcoming Home Hub — sometimes referred to as HomePad — while another report points towards October 13 for Apple's big smart-home launch. And it might not be coming alone... 🎨 STORY 1 — APPLE HOME HUB IN FOUR COLOURS?! Apple's new Home Hub is reportedly being prepared in four finishes: ⚪ Silver⚫ Space Gray✨ Starlight🌸 Rose Pink And I actually think offering different colours makes a lot of sense. Unlike an Apple TV hidden underneath your television, the Home Hub is designed to become part of your room. If Apple wants us putting these in kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms, appearance matters. But which colour would YOU choose? 🏠 STORY 2 — HOMEPAD SETUP REVEALED We're also starting to learn how Apple's new Home device could actually work. Code discoveries reportedly reveal a Photo Face, allowing your HomePad to become a digital photo display when you're not actively using it. And there's an interesting connection to Apple's new iPhone Duo, which appears to share some of the same ideas through its StandBy experience. This is exactly what I want from Apple's Home Hub. I don't want an iPad permanently stuck to the wall. I want something designed around the home that can show photos when it's idle, then intelligently transform into controls for your lights, cameras, music, timers, reminders and Siri AI when you need it. 📅 STORY 3 — OCTOBER 13?! And this could be the date to remember. Reports are pointing towards October 13 for Apple's next major Home announcements. Potentially including: 🧠 Apple Home Hub / HomePad🔊 New HomePod mini📺 New Apple TV 4K If the reports are correct, we could be just days away from finally seeing Apple's new smart-home strategy come together. Last week I asked whether Apple was finally getting serious about the smart home. On October 13, we might finally get our answer. 👇 Would YOU buy an Apple Home Hub? And which colour would you choose?

🎬 iWeekly Episode 78 — Video Title Apple’s SMART HOME Revolution?! 🏠🍎 homeOS, New Apple TV & Home Hub | iWeekly 78 Alternative if you want the Home Hub to be the stronger hook: Apple Home Hub Is COMING! 🏠 New homeOS, Apple TV & HomePod mini | iWeekly 78 I prefer the first one because all three stories point towards the bigger story: Apple potentially getting serious about the smart home. 📝 YouTube Description 🏠🍎 Is Apple FINALLY getting serious about the smart home? This week on iWeekly Episode 78, three separate reports appear to be giving us pieces of the same much bigger Apple story. Apple is reportedly preparing an all-new operating system designed specifically for the home. We've now seen leaked images apparently revealing a new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini. And then there's the product that could bring everything together... Apple Home Hub. 🏠 STORY 1 — AN ALL-NEW APPLE OPERATING SYSTEM?! Apple is reportedly developing a completely new operating system for its upcoming smart-home products, potentially called homeOS. Rather than simply putting iPadOS onto a screen, Apple appears to be building an interface specifically around the home — combining ideas from iOS, watchOS and tvOS. We could see widgets, smart-home controls, contextual information and even facial recognition that changes what's displayed depending on who's looking at it. And personally, I think that's exactly what Apple needs. I don't want an iPad permanently stuck to my wall. I want an interface actually designed for my home. 📺 STORY 2 — NEW APPLE TV 4K & HOMEPOD MINI Leaked images have reportedly revealed Apple's next Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini. But I'm less interested in a simple specification bump. Both products already play important roles within Apple Home, so could these new versions become part of the infrastructure behind Apple's much bigger smart-home plans? For me, that's what matters. I don't just want a slightly faster HomePod. I want a smarter and more reliable Apple Home. 🧠 STORY 3 — APPLE HOME HUB And this could be the product that brings everything together. The rumoured Apple Home Hub could become the visual and intelligent centre of your home. Doorbell rings? Show the camera. Music playing? Show the controls. Timer running? Put it on screen. Ask Siri something? Give you the information visually. Combine that with Siri AI, HomeKit, Matter, Thread, Apple TV and HomePod, and Apple already has most of the pieces needed to build something seriously impressive. But there's one thing Apple absolutely has to get right... Reliability. A smart home can have all the AI in the world, but if I ask Siri to turn on a light and nothing happens, none of it matters! 👇 Would you put an Apple Home Hub in your house? And is Apple finally ready to properly take on the smart-home market?

🍎 Apple's new software is here — and after actually using it, I think this could be one of Apple's best software years in a long time. Welcome to iWeekly Episode 77 — your weekly Apple news, with my take on what actually matters. Last week was all about Apple's new hardware. This week, we're looking at the software that's just landed on the devices many of us already own. And I've now had time to actually use it. 📱 iOS 27 — 50+ NEW THINGS iOS 27 feels noticeably quicker and snappier to me. AirDrop in particular is ridiculously fast — something I use regularly and immediately noticed. I also really like the new icons. They have a richer, deeper colour and give iOS a fresh feel without completely changing how everything works. But it's not perfect... Having to manually swipe Siri away to return to my content is annoying, particularly when I'm trying to use Siri hands-free. And Apple's new gold wallpaper? Sorry Apple... I'm really not a fan on my iPhone or iPad! 😂 🤖 SIRI AI — FINALLY GOOD? Siri has had a massive AI upgrade, with far better contextual understanding and the ability to work across your apps and information. I really like the new voice, and when I've actually used Siri AI, it is clearly better. But Apple has another problem with people like me... While Siri was falling behind, I got used to using other AI assistants. So even though Siri is better, I'm finding that I don't naturally think about using it anymore. Can Apple convince us to come back? 💻 macOS GOLDEN GATE This might genuinely be my favourite macOS update ever. It's quick, polished and the richer icons look fantastic. Siri AI also feels particularly at home on the Mac, especially when combined with Spotlight and the ability to find information without interrupting what you're doing. And weirdly... That gold design I don't like on my iPhone? I actually don't mind it on the Mac! 😂 👇 What do YOU think of Apple's new software? Have you upgraded yet, and has the new Siri AI convinced you to start using Siri again?

Apple’s iPhone DUO Changes Everything! 🍎 My Surprise & Shine Reaction | iWeekly 76 🍎 Apple actually surprised me — and I loved it! Welcome to a special edition of iWeekly, covering everything that caught my attention from Apple’s “Surprise and shine” keynote. Last week I said I was deliberately avoiding the leaks because I wanted to experience an Apple keynote without already knowing everything that was coming. And it worked! I even managed to avoid the iPhone Duo name until Apple announced it on stage — and I'd forgotten just how much more enjoyable these events are when there are genuine surprises. So I'm definitely doing that again! 📱 iPHONE DUO Apple's first foldable iPhone was easily the star of the show for me. It looks like an incredibly impressive piece of technology, and I particularly love the design and what Apple has done with the interface in iOS 27. Would I buy one? I'm not convinced. For the way I use my devices, I think I can get by perfectly well with a latest-generation base iPhone and an iPad mini. But that doesn't stop me appreciating just how impressive the Duo looks. 🍷 iPHONE 18 PRO & PRO MAX There's a lovely new burgundy colour and plenty of improvements inside, but for me this feels much more like a specification bump. And I'm actually relieved about that! I'm very happy with my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and I've pledged to return to upgrading every two years rather than annually, both for longevity and to get more value from the technology I already own. The 18 Pro hasn't changed my mind. 🎧 AIRPODS 5 Two new AirPods 5 models bring improvements including Live Translation and upgrades to ANC. Again, they look like excellent AirPods — particularly for somebody buying a new pair — but I don't see them as an essential upgrade if you're already happy with what you've got. ⌚ APPLE WATCH We also got the latest Apple Watch updates, with improved hardware alongside the increasingly interesting role of Siri and AI on your wrist. But once again, my reaction is similar: solid improvements, rather than something that makes me feel I need to immediately upgrade. 💻 AND MONDAY IS SOFTWARE DAY! Apple's new operating systems arrive on Monday, 14 September, including: 📱 iOS 27📱 iPadOS 27💻 macOS 27⌚ watchOS 27🥽 visionOS 27 And judging by what we've already seen of the interface changes, I'm really looking forward to getting them installed. 👇 What was YOUR favourite announcement from Surprise and shine? And did you manage to avoid the leaks before the keynote? and keep the comments kind!

Apple Enters a NEW ERA! 🍎 New CEO, Camera AirPods & Goodbye Intel Macs 🍎 Apple has entered a new era — but this week I'm deliberately staying AWAY from the September 9 spoilers! We are only days away from Apple's “Surprise and shine” keynote, and unsurprisingly the internet is now absolutely full of leaks, rumours and supposed last-minute details about what Apple is going to announce. But this year I'm trying something different. I'm deliberately avoiding as many of those spoilers as possible. Why? Because I actually want to sit down on Wednesday, watch an Apple keynote and still be surprised by something — just like I used to be! So Episode 75 of iWeekly focuses on three other Apple stories that caught my attention this week. 👨‍💼 JOHN TERNUS TAKES OVER APPLE September 1st marked John Ternus's first day as Apple CEO, officially beginning the post-Tim Cook era. We're already seeing some changes within Apple's leadership structure — but what sort of Apple will Ternus ultimately build? 🎧 AIRPODS THAT CAN SEE WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT?! New references discovered inside macOS provide more clues about Apple's rumoured camera-equipped AirPods. They could potentially improve Spatial Audio by understanding exactly which screen you're looking at — but the much bigger story could be Visual Intelligence. Could future AirPods effectively become another pair of eyes for Apple Intelligence? 💻 GOODBYE TO MORE INTEL MACS Apple has now moved three older Intel MacBook models onto its obsolete hardware list. They're another reminder that, six years after Apple began its transition to Apple silicon, the Intel Mac era is gradually disappearing. And it raises an interesting question: When should a perfectly functional computer actually become obsolete? So no iPhone 18 leaks. No last-minute September 9 spoiler roundup. I'm saving those surprises for the keynote! This is iWeekly — your weekly Apple news, with my take on what actually matters. 👇 Are you avoiding the keynote leaks too, or do you want to know EVERYTHING before Apple announces it? 📌 About iWeekly iWeekly is my weekly Apple news series where I break down the biggest stories, trusted rumours, and updates from sources like MacRumors, 9to5Mac and AppleInsider — and give you my take on what it actually means. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly Apple news, Apple reviews, tips, guides and Apple ecosystem content. 🌐 Website: www.techhubwiltsuk.co.uk 📱 Follow Tech Hub Wilts UK: * Instagram: @techhubwiltsuk * Threads: @techhubwiltsuk * TikTok: @techhubwiltsuk #iWeekly #Apple #AppleNews #TechHubWiltsUK #JohnTernus #AppleCEO #TimCook #AirPods #FutureAirPods #CameraAirPods #SpatialAudio #AppleIntelligence #VisualIntelligence #Mac #MacBook #IntelMac #AppleSilicon #MacNews #AppleRumours #AppleEvent #AppleEvent2026 #SurpriseAndShine #AppleKeynote #Technology #TechNews #AppleFans #FutureApple 00:00 - Intro 02:12 - AirPods With Cameras Could Bring Improved Spatial Audio Head Tracking 07:02 - John Ternus’s first day as Apple CEO: Here’s the latest 12:08 - Apple ends hardware support for three Intel MacBook models 16:30 - Wrap Up 18:10 - Outro Sources: Monday 31st August AirPods With Cameras Could Bring Improved Spatial Audio Head Tracking https://www.macrumors.com/2026/08/31/camera-airpods-spatial-audio-head-tracking/ Tuesday 1st September John Ternus’s first day as Apple CEO: Here’s the latest https://9to5mac.com/2026/09/01/john-ternuss-first-day-as-apple-ceo-heres-the-latest/ Monday 31st August Apple ends hardware support for three Intel MacBook models https://appleinsider.com/articles/26/08/31/apple-ends-hardware-support-for-three-intel-macbook-models About me Welcome to Tech Hub Wilts UK!

How My Robot Vacuum Started the HomeTech Project - HomeTech Ep.2 What started as a simple goal to integrate my Eufy robot vacuum into Home Assistant quickly became the project that changed how I build my smart home. In this episode of HomeTech Project, I share the journey from trying to connect my robot vacuum with Home Assistant, to getting it working with Apple Home using Matter, creating room-by-room cleaning triggers and even controlling it from my Apple Watch. This isn't a step-by-step beginner's tutorial. Instead, it's the story of how one project introduced me to new technologies, changed the way I solve problems and ultimately inspired the entire HomeTech Project series. In this episode you'll see: * Integrating a Eufy robot vacuum into Home Assistant * Using Matter to expose the vacuum to Apple Home * Creating room cleaning triggers * How AI became part of my smart home workflow * Why this one project changed everything If you enjoy practical Home Assistant projects, Apple Home integrations and real-world smart home ideas, make sure you subscribe because we're only just getting started. 🎬 Episode 1: https://youtu.be/KBUIgWTgsvw ▶️ Subscribe for more HomeTech Project episodes!

Apple Is Rethinking Everything! New Apple Watch, Smart Home Revolution & iPhone 18 Leaks 🍎 | iWeekly Ep.73 🍎 Welcome back to iWeekly — your weekly Apple news, with my take on what actually matters. Apple could be preparing some of its biggest changes in years, and this week we look at three stories that could shape the future of the Apple ecosystem. ⌚ First: Apple Watch could be getting a major rethink. Reports suggest Apple is exploring new designs, including a possible round Apple Watch, new form factors and even a screenless fitness tracker. 🏠 Second: Apple’s smart home ambitions could finally be growing. A new roadmap suggests Apple is preparing more Home products, including potential new Apple TV, HomePod and smart display devices. 📱 Third: iOS developer beta code has once again revealed possible clues about upcoming iPhones, including references to future iPhone 18 models and potentially new categories. As always, I’ll break down what’s actually happening, what is just a rumour, and what these changes could mean for Apple users. 💬 What do you think? Would you buy a screenless Apple fitness tracker?Do you think Apple can finally compete properly in the smart home market?Would you buy a foldable iPhone?

Welcome to My HomeTech Project Ep.1 Welcome to Episode 1 of the HomeTech Project! A few months ago, I bought a robot vacuum expecting it to make cleaning easier. I never imagined it would completely change how I think about smart homes. What started as a simple purchase quickly led me down a rabbit hole of Apple Home, Matter, Home Assistant, automations, dashboards and eventually creating my own smart home operating system… HomeOS. This series isn’t just another Home Assistant tutorial. It’s my real journey building the smart home I’ve always wanted, sharing every success, every challenge and everything I learn along the way. In this first episode, I introduce the HomeTech Project, explain how it all started and give you a preview of what’s coming over the next few months. ✅ Why I bought a robot vacuum ✅ How it led me to Matter & Home Assistant ✅ Why Apple Home wasn’t enough ✅ The birth of HomeOS ✅ What’s coming next in the series If you enjoy following real tech journeys rather than perfect tutorials, I’d love to have you along for the ride. 👍 If you enjoy the video, please leave a like and subscribe so you don’t miss future episodes of the HomeTech Project! 🚀 Next Episode: I’ll show you exactly how I integrated my Eufy L60 Hybrid into Apple Home using Matter and Home Assistant. #HomeTechProject #HomeAssistant #SmartHome #AppleHome #HomeKit #Matter #HomeAutomation #HomeOS #TechHubWiltsUK #AppleEcosystem 00:00 - WELCOME 00:23 - WHY THIS SERIES? 00:50 - WHAT THIS SERIES IS 01:30 - HOW IT STARTED 02:18 - A DIFFERENT WAY OF SOLVING PROBLEMS 03:21 - WHY I'M MAKING THIS SERIES 03:50 - WHAT IS HOMETECH PROJECT? 04:22 - WHAT'S COMING? 04:48 - MY PROMISE 05:10 - NEXT EPISODE 06:01 - OUTRO About me Welcome to Tech Hub Wilts UK!
