Apple's new smart home hub, the HomeView, is expected to ship in mid-November, roughly a month after its unveiling at the October 13 "Welcome home" event. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the device will launch after the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini, which arrive on October 30. The HomeView will serve as the Siri command center for Apple homes, featuring a display powered by the A18 chip.
It will be available in two versions: a countertop model with a metal speaker base in space gray, silver, starlight, and pink, and a wall-mounted version in space gray and silver. The device is designed primarily for voice control, with touch input support, and will offer better sound quality than the new HomePod mini. It will run a limited selection of Apple apps without a dedicated App Store.
The name "HomeView" was first discovered in a trademark filing by a shell company, reported by MacRumors.
