A new rumor popped up on Thursday that claimed that Apple is working on a new range of AirPort routers and an iCloud Time Machine.
According to what is reported by my source l on macOS 13 there should be a version of Time Machine (Mac backup system) completely redone, integrated with iCloud Drive. In addition, Apple is expected to introduce new AirPorts in November #Apple #AppleRumor

The rumor is explicit about how Apple is working on an iCloud-centric Time Machine for Macs and new AirPort hardware…
FCC filings on May 23 has apparently revived some rumors. In that filing, Apple details a device by name of “A2657” and its purpose seems to be as a network adapter of some sort.
We don’t think it’s a new AirPort, because the Wi-Fi on it only supports up to 802.11n and it also includes NFC which would be unusual to see on router. And at 32GB of storage it’s not going to be a new version of AirPort Time Capsule…
The other part of the rumor on Thursday mentions a redesigned version of Time Machine that integrates with iCloud Drive. It would have to be a radical redesign, because this is hugely different than how iCloud Drive or Time Machine currently function… Maybe iCloud Time Machine would work alongside AirPort. A 32GB device suggests that it would contain only the most recent snapshots of your Mac system.
MacDailyNews Take: Fingers crossed that this is true. We’d love to see a reliable Apple AirPort Wi-Fi Mesh System debut at WWDC or this fall!
Interns, TTK! Happy Memorial Day Weekend for those in the United States and prost, everyone! 🍻🍻🍻

Another possibility is that this mystery product could be something to do with the Matter standard for smart homes. Apple are very much involved in developing the Matter Protocol, which is expected to launch later this year.
