Apple Launches HomeView Smart Display
Apple has launched its new smart display, the HomeView, as a central component in its expansion into home automation. The $299 device features a seven-inch squircle screen and is designed to control various smart home technologies while also offering functionalities like recipe displays, music playback controls, FaceTime calls, and widget support. The HomeView will be available for purchase on November 13th after being announced at Apple’s ‘Welcome Home’ event. It supports Siri AI with natural-language voice interactions when connected to an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad. The device is also compatible with Thread and Matter protocols, enabling it to integrate seamlessly into smart home ecosystems. Preorders are now open in multiple colors, offering users the choice between a speaker base version for enhanced audio performance or a wall-mounted option without the base at no additional cost.
