We’ve been hearing rumors of Apple launching a slew of smart home products to finally, properly compete against Google and Amazon. Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen reports of the long-awaited Apple smart display, and today we’re getting even more information about Apple’s plans for its second attempt at carving out a meaningful place in the smart home market.

According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple is gearing up to launch at least three new devices on October 13. The primary focus of the online launch is expected to be the smart display, which could be called the “HomeView,” per the report. It’s likely to feature an A18 chip and come in two styles: a countertop version with a metal speaker base, and a wall-mounted version with a square base sitting between the display and the wall.
