Launch Schedule and Device Overview
Apple is slated to introduce its new smart-home hub, informally dubbed “HomePad,” on October 13. The device is described as a square-shaped hub that integrates Apple’s home-automation ecosystem and will support the company’s “Photo Face” feature for personalized setup.
Reported Color Finishes
Leaker pdfu shared images that indicate the HomePad may be offered in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight, and Rose Pink. The claim originates from the leaker’s post, which displays the device’s exterior in each hue and notes that the hardware color is reported to the setup software.
Leak Highlights of the Setup Process
The same leak shows the HomePad’s initial configuration screen, where the “Photo Face” preview art changes according to the detected hardware color. According to the images, the setup interface also displays a visual representation of the device’s housing once the appropriate assets are available, reinforcing the link between the physical finish and the on-screen experience.
Context from Earlier Leaks
pdfu previously disclosed details about an upcoming “iPhone Duo” feature set, suggesting that some of those capabilities could be extended to the HomePad. While the earlier leak focused on dual-camera functionality for iPhones, the current images imply that similar software integrations may be part of the HomePad’s feature suite.
