Apple introduces HomeView, a $299 smart home display with Siri AI

Apple introduced Apple HomeView, a 7-inch Liquid Retina smart home display that combines entertainment, FaceTime calls, home monitoring and hands-free automation, priced at $299 in the U.S. The device recognizes users by face to surface their personal content and runs Siri AI, a new more conversational version of Siri that can draw on personal context when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad. Pre-orders opened October 13 in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the UK and the U.S., with availability starting Friday, November 13; Apple says HomeView is not for sale in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS there.
