publishers 19articles 22first reported 8 Oct, 16:04 UTCdeveloping since 8 Oct · 9 editions

Apple has announced a product event titled “Welcome Home” for October 13, about a month after its annual iPhone launch event.

Greg “Joz” Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide marketing, shared a short teaser showing two people creating a colorful, hand-embroidered Apple logo and stitching the event’s name and date. The imagery emphasized craft, customization and a cozy atmosphere, but Apple did not identify the products it plans to unveil.

Online speculation has focused on possible smart-home devices, including a smart speaker or home control center. MacRumors reported that Apple is still expected to announce three products. Apple has not confirmed those details.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID

The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.

WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Remove the unsupported characterization that Macworld and AppleInsider described all forthcoming releases as centered on the smart home. - "MacRumors reported that Apple is still expected to announce three products, while Macworld and AppleInsider also described the forthcoming releases as centered on the smart home.": The source list provides only titles for MacRumors, Macworld and AppleInsider; it supports that MacRumors expected three products and that Macworld/AppleInsider discussed smart-home announcements or releases, but not the broader claim that the forthcoming releases are centered on the smart home.
