Apple Unveils New Smart Home Products at 'Welcome Home' Event
At its ‘Welcome Home’ event, Apple introduced a range of new smart home products. The highlight was the launch of the HomeView, Apple’s first dedicated smart display for managing and monitoring compatible smart devices in the home. Priced at $299, it features a 7-inch Liquid Retina screen with adjustable brightness and includes AI-powered Siri capabilities tied to an iPhone connection. Apple also announced a refreshed version of its HomePod Mini speaker priced at $149. The updated model retains the iconic ball shape but introduces new muted color options and enhanced lighting effects that sync with music visuals. These updates aim to strengthen Apple’s presence in the smart home market, competing directly with offerings from Amazon and Google. The event also showcased a suite of third-party smart home accessories designed for compatibility with Apple's ecosystem. The HomeView is available for preorder now and will ship starting November 13.
