GoKawiilApple launches $299 HomeView smart display built around new Siri
Apple unveiled HomeView, a wall- or tabletop-mountable smart home hub with a 7-inch screen that recognizes individual household members by face and shows them relevant information. The device starts at $299 and ships Nov. 13, alongside a refreshed $299 Apple TV 4K with a trackable remote and a $149 HomePod Mini in new colors. All three products feature Apple's recently released Siri AI, letting users carry conversations from the hub to their iPhone or iPad.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The launch is the second major event under new CEO John Ternus and suggests Apple is using home accessories to demonstrate its upgraded Siri capabilities after a major iPhone refresh last month. These products are smaller revenue contributors than the iPhone, so investors are likely to keep their attention on iPhone sales rather than this hardware lineup, even as Apple tries to position Siri as a differentiator across its ecosystem.
- HomeView is a $299 smart home hub with a 7-inch screen launching Nov. 13.
- It uses facial recognition to personalize information for different household members.
