Apple to Launch HomeView, a New Smart Home Hub
According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is set to announce its new smart home hub called the HomeView on October 13, 2026. The device will be powered by Siri and feature an A18 chip along with a display for controlling other smart home devices. It will come in two models: one designed for countertops and another for wall mounting. This marks Apple's most significant attempt to gain traction in the smart home market, following limited success with its HomeKit software framework and HomePod speaker. Alongside the HomeView launch, updated versions of the Apple TV set-top box and the HomePod mini will also be unveiled. Additionally, Apple plans to announce a partnership with LG for new smart devices including a lock, thermostat, and doorbell.
