Apple has shared four new videos on its YouTube channel highlighting the newly announced HomeView smart home hub, fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini 2.
The longest video, "Welcome Apple HomeView: Designed for life at home," follows a family through a busy morning. It shows Siri retrieving a French toast recipe sent in Messages, locating misplaced keys, and checking evening plans, alongside a FaceTime call with grandparents. A second, shorter HomeView video covers the device's features, including personalized experiences for up to six users, FaceTime calls, Spatial Audio, and smart home controls. It also highlights the 7-inch Liquid Retina display and its customizable display faces.
The HomePod mini 2 video focuses on the speaker's sound and compact design, showing its green, pink, blue, midnight, and white finishes. It also promotes multiroom audio and Siri AI, which Apple says will arrive on HomePod mini 2 in a future software update. The Apple TV 4K video highlights Dolby Vision and HDR10+ playback, hands-free Siri control using built-in microphones, and the ability to play a sound to locate the updated Siri Remote. Apple also promotes a new four-speaker surround sound setup that supports HomePod mini 2 and second-generation HomePod speakers in matching front and rear pairs.
Today's announcements also included the Apple Home Collection, a lineup of cameras, a door lock, thermostats, and sensors developed with LG and Schneider.
HomeView, the new Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini 2 are available to pre-order today. The HomePod mini 2 launches on October 30, while HomeView and the new Apple TV 4K launch on November 13.
