Apple announced HomeView on October 13, giving Siri AI a screen of its own for the home. The seven-inch display will handle conversations, FaceTime calls, music, and connected-home controls from a counter or wall.
What is Apple HomeView?
HomeView combines a touchscreen with speakers, microphones, and a camera. You can ask Siri a question, check who's at the door, adjust compatible lights and thermostats, or make a FaceTime call without picking up your phone.
The display adjusts to your distance, showing a simpler view from across the room and more detail when you move closer. HomeView can recognize up to six people, giving each person their own apps and widgets.
Both the tabletop and wall-mounted models start at $299 in the U.S. and arrive November 13. Pre-orders are open. Wall mounts are sold separately.
What can Siri AI do on HomeView?
Siri AI supports back-and-forth conversations and questions about a wide range of topics. You can ask a follow-up without starting the conversation over, then continue it in the Siri app on another Apple device.
With a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, Siri AI can also draw on your Messages, Calendar, and other personal context. HomeView's Siri AI launches in beta, in English, in supported countries. Apple is not initially selling HomeView in the European Union.
HomePod mini 2 and the new Apple TV 4K
HomePod mini 2 costs $149 in the U.S. and arrives October 30. The S10 chip powers its audio, and the new Sound Glow feature lights the top in time with music. Siri AI will arrive on HomePod mini 2 in a later software update.
The new Apple TV 4K costs $299 in the U.S. and arrives November 13. Its A19 chip and three far-field microphones bring hands-free Siri requests to the TV. Pair it with four supported HomePod speakers, in matching front and rear pairs, for surround sound.
Siri AI beta will also be available on Apple TV 4K models from the second generation onward.
Apple Home Collection adds cameras, locks, and thermostats
Apple Home Collection brings new accessories developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. The cameras, door lock, thermostats, and sensors can be set up with an iPhone and managed through the Home app, without separate accessory accounts. The rollout starts in December, with some products following in early 2027.
