   Apple launches HomeView, its first smart display for the home

   Apple has launched HomeView, a $299 smart display with Siri AI, a 7-inch screen, and Apple Home, Matter, and Thread support. Preorders are open in eight countries, with shipping November 13th; tabletop and wall-mounted versions cost the same. In her first look, Jennifer Pattison Tuohy observed demos but had not tried the device herself, highlighting that personal context requires facial recognition and an Apple Intelligence-capable iPhone on the same network, while chained smart home commands are limited to specific device types.

   Apple to Announce HomeView Smart Home Hub on Tuesday, Gurman Reports

   Apple will announce a new smart home hub called the HomeView on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Gurman describes it as a Siri-powered device with a display and an A18 chip for controlling other smart home devices, reportedly available in countertop and wall-mounted models. Apple will also unveil updated Apple TV and HomePod mini devices, and Gurman said earlier this week that Apple plans to announce an LG partnership for a smart lock, thermostat, and doorbell.
