Apple refreshed its smart home lineup with three major announcements: the all-new HomeView hub, the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, and the HomePod mini 2. The $299 HomeView acts as a central home hub with apps, widgets, and personalized content for up to six people, though it will not be available in the European Union and requires an iPhone or iPad for some AI features. The $299 Apple TV 4K now features far-field microphones for hands-free Siri, a faster A19 chip, increased internal storage, Wi-Fi 7, and support for Apple Intelligence.
The $149 HomePod mini receives a faster chip, new colors, and Siri AI support, though full AI capabilities will arrive later. All three devices integrate Siri AI, with the new Siri Remote priced at $59. Apple also launched the 'Apple Home Collection' featuring cameras, locks, and thermostats.
