New ‘HomePod mini’ and Apple TV will track your location for HomeKit, AR


A leak claims that Apple’s “HomePod mini,” and new Apple TV, will precisely track your location, or that of your devices, in your home, to trigger HomeKit actions, or even AR.

According to regular leaker Jon Prosser, the tracking will enable HomeKit to, for instance, lock doors, and turn on lights, as you walk around. He also claims that this will actually facilitate expected new Apple AR features in the Find My app.

Prosser goes on to say that this feature will also “be used in the Find My app when you’re away from home to alert you if any of your devices have been moved within or taken from your home.”

Apple’s “iPhone 12” event will be streamed live online and across Apple devices from 10:00 PT, 13:00 ET on October 13.
