An OLED display could also bring improved contrast and richer blacks to compatible devices. Apple has not officially confirmed the rumored specifications or product lineup. Last week, Apple unveiled a new range of smart home products, headlined by HomeView, a $299 smart display designed to connect household devices and personalize its Siri assistant for up to six users. When Could Apple Announce the New Products Apple is reportedly planning an in-person media experience in Los Angeles on Oct. 28, beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, MacRumors reported. Instead of a traditional keynote, the company is expected to announce the products through press releases and give journalists hands-on access to the new Macs and iPad mini. The format would let media members test the devices and publish their first impressions after the announcements.
