GoKawiilApple opens preorders for $299 HomeView smart display
Apple has begun taking preorders for HomeView, a $299 smart home display with a seven-inch squircle screen. It launches November 13th in multiple colors, with buyers able to choose between a speaker base with a down-firing woofer and passive radiators, or a wall-mounted version without the extra audio hardware, both priced the same.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The device, launched alongside new Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini 2 models, signals Apple's broader push to put Siri AI and smart home control at the center of living spaces. Its reliance on Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhones or iPads for natural-language features suggests Apple is using HomeView to deepen reliance on its existing device ecosystem rather than function as a standalone product.
- HomeView costs $299 and ships November 13th with a seven-inch squircle display.
- Buyers can choose a speaker base with woofer and passive radiators or a wall-mounted version at the same price.
- It integrates Siri AI, Thread/Matter smart home control, and requires an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad for full functionality.
