Apple introduced HomeView on Tuesday, a display built for the center of the home: music, video calls, recipes, and smart home control in one device, with Siri AI, the new version of the assistant, at its core. There's a tabletop model and a wall-mounted one, both $299. Pre-orders opened today in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, India, and New Zealand, and it ships Friday, November 13. It arrived at the "Welcome home" launch alongside the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2.
The details
- Design: a 7-inch Liquid Retina display joined by a stainless steel hinge to a domed speaker base, tilting for comfortable viewing at any height. Auto-brightness runs from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits, for a kitchen or a nightstand, and the interface shows less from across the room and more up close.
- Colors: the tabletop model comes in silver, starlight, rose pink, and space gray; the wall model in space gray and silver.
- Wall-mounted model: same display and features, with Schneider Home mounts sold separately, starting at $59.95.
- A18 chip: with Secure Exclaves, isolated areas of the chip that process camera and microphone data separately from the rest of the system.
- Personal for each user: it recognizes up to six people by face and shows each one their own Home Screen, messages, calendar, and reminders. Personal content only appears when that person is recognized and their iPhone or iPad is nearby and recently unlocked.
- Siri AI: it answers general questions and, with an Apple Intelligence iPhone or iPad, uses your personal context. Conversations continue in the Siri app on your other devices.
- Entertainment and home: Apple Music with lyrics, podcasts, FaceTime with Center Stage, Intercom, step-by-step recipes with voice timers, and up to nine live camera feeds at once. It works with Matter accessories and the new Apple Home Collection, made with LG and Schneider Electric.
Price and timing in Mexico
In Mexico, HomeView isn't on sale and has no date. The official list is the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore (pre-orders from October 15), and South Africa (through authorized resellers). Apple's Mexico store has no page for it.
For a price reference: HomeView costs $299 in the US, exactly the same as the new Apple TV 4K, which Apple's Mexico store already lists at MX$6,299. If Apple uses the same conversion, HomeView would land around MX$6,299 when it arrives. That's our estimate, not an Apple price.
