Apple expected to unveil HomeView smart-home hub and updated devices
Apple is expected to hold a smart-home product launch event tomorrow.
One planned product is HomeView, a hub for controlling smart-home devices.
It is expected to come as a countertop model or a wall-mounted model, with different color choices.
Both versions are expected to use the A18 chip, and earlier rumors point to a 6-inch touchscreen.
