Apple launches HomeView, an intelligent screen supporting Siri AI, priced at $299
20 Oct 2026
Apple has launched Apple HomeView, a smart display device for home use that integrates entertainment, communication, and smart home device control into one device, supporting voice commands through Siri AI to enhance convenience in daily life. Currently, there is no announcement for the release date in Thailand.
HomeView comes with a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and is designed in two models: a tabletop version with an adjustable stainless steel base, and a wall-mounted version. The tabletop version is available in four colors: silver, starlight, rose pink, and space gray, while the wall-mounted version comes in two colors: silver and space gray, allowing for installation that suits the space and home decor style.
User content customization, supports up to 6 household members
One of the highlights of Apple HomeView is its ability to tailor the user experience for each individual. The device can recognize up to 6 users through the front camera for FaceTime. When a household member uses the device, the screen displays content and information tailored to that person, allowing members to use the device together while maintaining privacy.
Additionally, user data is stored in an encrypted format using the A18 chip to help protect personal information, supporting commands through Siri AI and customizing the display according to user needs.
Combining entertainment, communication, and smart home control
Apple HomeView is designed to support three main uses:
Entertainment: Access various Apple services such as Apple Music, Apple TV, Apple News, and Apple Podcasts
Communication: Supports conversations through FaceTime with the Center Stage feature that helps position the image so the user is appropriately framed during conversations
Smart home control: Has a dashboard for monitoring and controlling smart devices within the home, capable of displaying information for up to 9 devices on a single screen
These capabilities make HomeView more than just a screen for viewing content, but also a hub for managing devices and activities within the home.
Price and release schedule for Apple HomeView
Apple HomeView launches with a starting price of $299 USD, approximately 10,000 THB, with pre-orders starting in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States from October 14, 2026.
