🍏 Apple Unveils HomeView, a Smart Home Display Powered by the New Siri

Apple has launched HomeView, a home hub with a 7-inch display that handles music, FaceTime calls, and smart home control in one place. It runs on the new Siri AI, which can hold a real conversation and answer questions on almost any topic.

Paired with an iPhone, it can also draw on the user's personal context, including their calendar, messages, and app data. HomeView recognizes up to six family members by face, gives each their own home screen, and keeps personal data hidden from everyone else. It can show up to nine camera feeds at once, adjust lights and thermostats, and lock doors.

The tabletop and wall-mounted versions cost $299 each. Sales begin November 13. HomeView won't launch in the EU, where Siri AI isn't available yet.
