Apple has unveiled its new Home View smart home product in two models: Apple Home View and Apple Home View (Wall Mounted). Both are priced at $299, even though the wall-mounted version has a less powerful speaker system. Pre-orders are open now, with first deliveries arriving November 13.
The wall-mounted model does not include a mount, so buyers who want it will end up paying more overall. Apple sells two mount options so far, starting at $59. The Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector costs $59.95, and the Power Mount AC Wired costs $79.95. A third option, the Power Mount PoE Wired at $129.95, is due in early 2027. All three mounts are made by Schneider Home.
Apple says the wall-mounted model "requires a mount and power solution to operate," so a mount is necessary for that version. Buyers who prefer not to mount it can still purchase the standard model for $299 without any additional hardware.
The pricing makes the wall-mounted version's total cost higher than its sticker price suggests, a detail that may influence which model shoppers choose.
