GoKawiilApple's new smart home hub reportedly named HomeView, launching November
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple will unveil a smart home display device called HomeView at Tuesday's event, with shipping expected in mid-November. The device uses an A18 chip, acts as a Siri-based HomeKit hub, and will come in countertop and wall-mounted versions. Gurman also reports Apple plans to show a new Apple TV box with an A19 chip and an updated HomePod mini with an S10 chip at the same event.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The HomeView device would position Apple to compete more directly with Amazon's Echo Show and Google's Nest Hub in the smart display market, an area Apple has largely ceded until now. Bundling it with updated Apple TV and HomePod mini hardware suggests Apple may be trying to refresh its entire home ecosystem around Siri simultaneously, though Apple has not confirmed any of these product details or names.

Apple HomePod mini — While we wait for the rumored HomeView hub to arrive, the Apple HomePod mini is a great way to start building out a Siri-powered smart home right now. It integrates seamlessly with HomeKit devices and Apple Music, making it a solid companion piece for whatever Apple announces next.
