Apple HomeView pairs a new version of Siri AI with Apple Intelligence, letting it draw on a user's personal context when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled device. Conversations started on the device sync across a user's products, so the same thread can be continued elsewhere.
The device itself is built for the home: a 7-inch Liquid Retina display on a dome-shaped speaker base, joined by a stainless steel hinge that tilts the screen to a comfortable angle. It manages music playback, FaceTime calls, home monitoring and hands-free automation by voice. It recognizes up to six users while shared photo albums and music stay open to everyone in the house, guests included.
Apple is also selling a wall-mounted model separately in Space Grey and Silver, fixed to the wall with three dedicated mounts from Schneider Home, installed either by the buyer or by a professional.
