Apple's HomeView, a smart display built around Siri, is expected to reach customers around mid-November 2026. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported the timing in his Power On newsletter, and the details were repeated by iClarified and iPhoneSoft. The reporting set the product up for a reveal at Apple's 'Welcome home' event on 13 October. Apple had not confirmed any of the details when the reports were published.
What the hardware looks like.
Gurman describes two versions. The countertop model has a metal speaker base and comes in space gray, silver, starlight and pink. The wall-mounted model has a flat, square base and is expected only in space gray and silver. The reports say the hub runs on an A18 chip, and Gurman expects it to sound better than the refreshed HomePod mini.
How it is meant to work.
HomeView is positioned as the control centre for an Apple home. Voice is the main way to use it, with touch support on the screen. According to Gurman, it will run a limited set of Apple apps and will have no App Store for downloading other software. Accessories would be controlled through Siri, the Home app and other Apple devices. iPhoneSoft suggests third-party app widgets may appear on the display, projected from a nearby iPhone, but that point is not confirmed.
Gurman also reports that Apple helped design a group of connected home products made by LG. These include a smart doorbell, a deadbolt lock, a thermostat, a temperature sensor and security cameras. None of them is expected to ship before later in 2026. Matter and Thread support is planned, according to the same reporting.
Other Apple products are on a different schedule. Gurman says the updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2 are expected to reach customers and stores on 30 October, ahead of HomeView. The reporting describes the Apple TV 4K as gaining Apple Intelligence and Siri AI support, and says four HomePods can be used for surround sound. Those details come from headlines in the coverage, not the full articles.
The Europe question is the one to watch. iPhoneSoft reports that HomeView's main feature, Siri AI, is not available on iPhone in France or the wider EU because of regulation. That could mean HomeView does not launch in Europe at first. The outlet labels this as unconfirmed, and Apple has not given a European timeline in the reporting reviewed.
No price has been confirmed. iPhoneSoft notes that no French price for the new models has leaked, and it points to current prices for the Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini as the only reference point. Given that, any figure for HomeView would be a guess until Apple publishes one.
Several questions remain open. Apple has not confirmed the name, price, ship date or feature list. It is not clear how much of HomeView's Siri functionality works without an iPhone, since some AI features reportedly need one. A display with no app store would also lean heavily on Apple's own services and accessories. Readers who plan to buy should check regional Siri support on Apple's site before ordering.
