We might see an Apple smart home security camera market in 2026. At least, that is what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is reporting. He wrote in a post saying the company targets "annual shipments in the tens of millions." Chinese tech company GoerTek will supposedly be the exclusive assembly supplier.

Kuo said the smart home camera would integrate with other Apple hardware products wirelessly and be part of a larger smart home ecosystem centred around Apple's HomeKit platform. He suggested you can see what's being recorded via the Apple TV or through an iPhone, Apple Watch, and other devices that can interact with the camera. Apple has not made a public statement about the arrival of this camera, but Kuo has a track record of breaking these product launches, so it might be worth keeping an eye on.

Apple teases an 'immersive music experience' from The Weeknd coming to Vision Pro

Apple is introducing a new "immersive music experience" for the Apple Vision Pro headset with Canadian singer The Weeknd. The trailer above teases what you'll expect to see on Thursday, November 15. It will feature his unreleased song, Open Hearts, which he previewed at a concert in Australia last month. If you don't own a Vision Pro, you can watch the experience by requesting a free demo of the headset at Apple Stores where it is available.

Another Apple product we might not see soon is the more affordable version of the Apple Vision Pro. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a tweet on Sunday that the mixed-reality headset might be "delayed beyond 2027." The reasons he cited its lackluster mass appeal.

"I think what really drove Apple to delay the cheaper Vision Pro is that simply reducing the price wouldn't help create successful use cases," Kuo wrote. "It's similar to the HomePod situation -- even after launching the cheaper HomePod mini, Apple's smart speakers failed to become mainstream products."

If you thought you'd get your hands on a redesigned Apple MacBook Pro next year, you might be disappointed. Apple is supposedly pushing back its release to 2026. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter, the redesign has encountered delays regarding its new display technology. So, you can expect to see the same design and mini-LED screen as its predecessors.
