Apple is bringing its smart home ambitions into a new device category with the launch of Apple HomeView, a dedicated smart home display that combines entertainment, personal information, Siri AI, and home controls in one place. The device is now available to purchase, starting at $299, giving Apple users a new way to interact with their connected homes.

Announced as a new addition to Apple’s home ecosystem, HomeView features a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and a redesigned, more capable version of Siri. Apple says the device is designed to become a central point in the home, whether placed on a tabletop or mounted on a wall.

HomeView brings several everyday experiences together. Users can play music, make FaceTime calls, check personal information, monitor their homes, and control compatible smart home accessories. Voice commands also allow users to trigger automations without reaching for their iPhone or opening the Home app.

Siri AI makes HomeView more personal

The biggest part of the HomeView experience is Siri AI, which Apple describes as an entirely new version of its digital assistant with more conversational capabilities and broader knowledge.

Unlike a traditional smart display that primarily responds to basic commands, HomeView is designed to understand questions about a wider range of topics and provide more detailed answers. Siri AI also supports on-screen awareness, allowing users to ask questions or request actions based on what’s currently displayed.

When paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, Siri AI can draw on personal context from apps such as Calendar and Messages to deliver more relevant responses. It can also take actions across apps to help users complete everyday tasks.

HomeView supports personalized experiences for up to six people through facial recognition. The display can adapt its content for each household member, including information from Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders, and Find My.

Apple is also emphasizing privacy, particularly because HomeView is designed to be shared by an entire household. Personal information appears only when the device recognizes a user and their paired iPhone or iPad is nearby and has been recently unlocked. This allows multiple people to use the same display without automatically exposing everyone’s personal information to the rest of the household.

It’s worth noting that Siri AI is launching in beta through HomeView software version 27.2. Certain Apple Intelligence features that rely on server-side models will also have daily usage limits, with expanded access potentially becoming a paid offering in the future.

Tabletop and wall-mounted models available

Apple HomeView comes in two physical configurations, giving customers the choice between a traditional tabletop display and a wall-mounted version.

The tabletop model is available in four colors: silver, starlight, rose pink, and space gray. The wall-mounted model comes in silver and space gray.

Both versions integrate with Apple’s Home app, allowing users to manage smart home settings, automations, and compatible accessories from the display. The wall-mounted configuration could be particularly useful in areas such as entryways and hallways, where a quick glance at home information or access to smart home controls can be convenient.

Apple is also offering purpose-built mounting accessories from Schneider Home for the wall-mounted model. The Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector starts at $59.95, while the Power Mount AC Wired option starts at $79.95. Both accessories are available to order today. The Power Mount PoE Wired option is scheduled to arrive in early 2027 for $129.95.

Apple HomeView price and availability

Apple HomeView is available starting November 13, 2026, through Apple Store Online, the Apple Store app, and Apple Store retail locations in supported markets.

The tabletop version costs $299, while the wall-mounted version also starts at $299. Both configurations are available in the previously mentioned color options.

The initial launch covers the United States, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. Siri AI on HomeView supports English in those markets, as well as South Africa.

There is one notable regional limitation: Apple HomeView is not currently available for purchase in the European Union because Siri AI is not yet available in iOS across the EU. Apple says it is working with the EU to find a way forward.

Canadian French-language support is also planned for a future free software update.

For Apple users already invested in the company’s ecosystem, HomeView represents a new way to bring Siri, Apple Intelligence, and smart home controls into a shared household device. Its $299 starting price puts it in a different category from a basic smart speaker, with the larger display and personalized experiences doing much of the work to justify the addition.
