CUPERTINO, Calif. - Apple HomeView went on sale on Friday, a month after Apple introduced the smart home display at its Welcome Home event. The device is now available at Apple Store locations, on Apple’s online store and in the Apple Store app in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, the U.K. and the U.S., priced at $299 in the U.S. and 299 pounds in the U.K. for both the tabletop and wall-mounted models.
HomeView pairs a 7-inch Liquid Retina display with Siri AI, the rebuilt version of Siri that Apple has made the center of its home push. Apple’s footnotes make clear that the assistant is not finished. Siri AI runs in beta in HomeView software version 27.2, and features that rely on Apple’s server-side models are subject to daily usage limits, with expanded access to “be available for a fee in the future,” the company said.

The tabletop model comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray. The wall-mounted version comes in silver and space gray and attaches with one of three mounts from Schneider Home. The Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector starts at $59.95 and the Power Mount AC Wired at $79.95, and both can be ordered now. The Power Mount PoE Wired, which draws power over an Ethernet cable, will cost $129.95 and arrives in early 2027.
HomeView still cannot be bought in the European Union. Apple said again on Friday that Siri AI is unavailable in iOS in the EU and that it is “working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward.”

The display recognizes up to six people by face and shows each one their own Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders and Find My content. That personal content appears only when the person is recognized and their paired iPhone or iPad is nearby and recently unlocked. Anyone else in the room gets a guest mode that can play media and control smart home accessories without seeing personal information.
Siri AI on HomeView works in English in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the U.K. Apple said Canadian French support will come later in a free software update, and the HomeView 27.2 release notes say Spanish support is also coming.

Those release notes, the first Apple has published for the device, fill in what owners get on day one. The Home Camera face can stream up to nine camera feeds at once. Sound Recognition listens for smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and sends an alert to a user’s iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch. Safari includes a cooking mode that reformats supported recipes into steps with timers, and music can play in sync across HomeView, HomePod and AirPlay speakers.
Matthew Costello, Apple’s vice president of hardware engineering, told TechRadar that the screen can dim to 0.3 nits, the lowest of any Apple product, which suits a bedside table at night. “I really love the fact that this is the lowest light performance we’ve ever engineered into a product, so it’s down to 0.3 nits,” he said. Its maximum brightness is 500 nits.

HomeView arrived alongside the updated Apple TV 4K, which also reached stores on Friday, and the first Apple Home Collection accessories built with LG, which opened for orders the same day. Setup and multiuser support require a compatible iPhone or iPad running the latest software.
