What is Apple HomeView?
Apple HomeView is the company’s first smart display for the home. It sits on a table or hangs on a wall, and it controls your smart home, shows your photos, runs recipes, and handles FaceTime calls. Apple announced it at the “Welcome Home” event on October 13, 2026.
If you followed the rumors, you may know this product as the HomePad. We covered those leaks in our HomePad report. Apple chose the name HomeView in the end.
Apple HomeView price
HomeView costs $299. The listed price is the same for both versions: the tabletop model and the wall-mounted model. That is lower than the roughly $350 that many rumors suggested.
Wall-mounted setups need a mount and power. Tom’s Guide estimates the total at about $358 to $428, while 9to5Mac reports $299 for both versions. Apple has not made one combined price clear, so check the total at checkout.
Apple HomeView release date
Pre-order: open now.
On sale: November 13 in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand. Singapore pre-orders open on October 15. In South Africa it will be sold through resellers, according to Redshark News. Indian pricing was not confirmed in the reports we checked, so check Apple India’s store.
HomeView will not launch in the EU. Read why in our guide on HomeView and the EU.

MacRumors also lists guided recipes with hands-free timers, and third-party apps from iPhone and iPad. MacRumors’ roundup names the A18 chip, but 9to5Mac’s report did not mention a chip, so treat the chip as reported, not official.

Siri AI is the key feature
HomeView depends on Siri AI. That is why it is the center of Apple’s home plan. If you want to learn what Siri AI is, read our report on iOS 27 and the new Siri.
What else did Apple announce?
According to MacRumors and other coverage, Apple also showed:
- A new Apple TV 4K with an A19 chip, Siri AI support and a new Siri Remote (MacRumors reports the remote at $59). It costs $299, which is $100 more than before, and it ships on November 13. Older Apple TV 4K models will also get Siri AI. See our new Apple TV 4K guide.
- HomePod mini 2 at $149, on sale October 30. Apple said it will not support Siri AI right away. See our HomePod mini 2 guide.
- A Home Collection in December, made with LG and Schneider Electric. Tom’s Guide reports a wired video doorbell at $249 and an indoor camera at $199. We could not confirm the full list from a second source.
For the event itself, see our earlier posts on the event time and products and the October 13 event preview.
Should you buy it?
Think about these points before you pre-order:
- You get the most from HomeView if you already use an iPhone with Apple Intelligence.
- It is built around Siri AI, so it is not a simple speaker.
- If you live in the EU, you cannot buy it for now.
- If you want a full setup, the HomePod mini 2 at $149 arrives first, on October 30.
- Check your country’s Apple store before you plan around the November 13 date.
