Apple’s long-rumored Home Hub could arrive in more colors than previously expected. A new leak suggests that the device may launch in four different finishes. A report yesterday claimed that Apple would unveil the Home Hub, also called HomePad, on October 13. It also suggested that the smart home device will only be offered in Apple’s standard gray aluminum finish.
However, a new leak hints at a wider color selection. According to a tipster on X, the Home Hub could come in silver, space gray, starlight and rose pink. The tipster has reportedly found Photo Face setup screens linked to the upcoming device. These screens will reportedly match the four colors planned for the Home Hub or HomePad.
Apple’s Home device can come in four finishes: Silver, Space Gray, Starlight and Rose Pink.
The Photo Face Setup screen selects its preview art based on the hardware color the device reports.
The building of the device may also show on setup screens when the device assets are available.
These finishes previously appeared in the J490 setup code in macOS 26.7 RC1. @MacRumors reported them as “mystery colors” in August.

The color options would give Apple’s new smart home device a more varied look. They can also make it easier for users to match the device with their home interior. Apple may also introduce a colorful version of its smaller smart speaker. The HomePod Mini 2 is rumored to launch on October 13 alongside the Home Hub.
A recent leak claimed that the HomePod Mini 2 would come in pink, white, green, blue and “midnight”. The latter is expected to be a very dark gray finish. Meanwhile, the Home Hub is expected to have a 6-inch square display. The screen could sit on a metal arm connected to a round speaker base.
The design resembles Apple’s iMac G4, which debuted more than two decades ago. However, the Home Hub is expected to focus on smart home controls and related services. Apple has not officially confirmed the Home Hub, its colors or an October 13 launch date. These details should therefore be treated as leaks until the company makes an announcement.
