Apple Releases $299 HomeView and Apple TV 4K on November 13

3 articles · Updated · MacRumors · Nov 9

Summary

  • November 13 marks Apple’s retail launch of two preordered devices: the new HomeView smart display and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, each priced at $299.
  • HomeView is Apple’s first dedicated smart-home display, pairing Apple Intelligence and Siri AI with entertainment and home controls; tabletop and wall-mounted versions can recognize up to six users for personalized screens.
  • Apple TV 4K adds Siri AI, an A19 chip, a Siri Remote with Find My, 128GB of storage, and support for four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2.
  • Both products were unveiled on October 13 alongside HomePod mini 2, which went on sale October 30.
  • The HomeView still will not be sold in the EU because Siri AI remains unavailable on iOS there under regulatory constraints, and Apple has given no timeline for a launch.
