Apple HomeView: Price, Features, Countries and Why It's Not in the EU

Apple HomeView, Apple's first smart display, went on sale on 13 November in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand and Singapore, with South Africa selling it through authorised resellers. It costs $299 in the US for either the tabletop or the wall-mounted model. It is not sold in the European Union, because the new Siri AI it is built around isn't available in iOS there.

Apple announced HomeView on 13 October alongside the Apple Home Collection, a line of smart cameras, thermostats and a lock made with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. HomeView is meant to be the screen and the hub for all of it.

What Apple HomeView is

HomeView is a 7-inch square Liquid Retina display with True Tone, running on an A18 chip. The tabletop model sits on a domed speaker base, joined by a stainless steel hinge you can tilt to suit the height of the table. The wall-mounted model has the same screen and features, with two drivers tuned for a wall.

Its interface changes with distance: simpler information from across the room, more detail when you walk up to it. Brightness adjusts automatically from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits.

Prices by country

Both models cost the same; the wall-mounted one also needs a mount (USB-C wall connector / AC wired / PoE wired, the last one arriving in early 2027):

• US: $299. Mounts from $59.95 / from $79.95 / $129.95
• UK: £299. Mounts from £54.95 / from £69.95 / £119.95
• Canada: CA$429. Mounts from CA$79.95 / from CA$109.95 / CA$179.95
• Australia: A$449. Mounts from A$94.95 / from A$124.95 / A$199.95
• India: ₹39,900. Mounts from ₹6,900 / from ₹8,900 / ₹14,900

The mounts are made by Schneider Home and sold separately, so the wall-mounted model really starts at the HomeView price plus a mount. You can install it yourself or have it installed.

What it does

Siri AI. HomeView is built around Siri AI, which Apple describes as an entirely new version of Siri. It is conversational, has broad world knowledge and can see what's on the screen to answer questions or act on it. Paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, it can also use your personal context, like your calendar and messages, and act across apps. On HomeView, Siri AI is in beta and works in English only for now; Canadian French support comes in a later free update.

Up to six people, each with their own screen. HomeView recognises up to six people by face and switches to that person's Home Screen, apps and widgets. Personal content in Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders and Find My only shows when the person is recognised and their paired iPhone or iPad is nearby and recently unlocked. Shared photo albums and music work for everyone, guests included.

Entertainment. Apple Music with animated album art and lyrics, Apple Podcasts, Apple News (in Australia, Canada, the UK and the US), the Apple TV app and compatible third-party audio and video apps. You can hand off playback by holding your iPhone near it, and group it with HomePod and AirPlay speakers for multiroom audio.

Calls and messages. FaceTime video calls with Center Stage, Messages by voice or on-screen keyboard, and Intercom to the whole house.

Smart home. HomeView is a home hub for Apple Home Collection and other Works with Apple Home and Matter accessories. You control cameras, thermostats, lights, locks and blinds by touch or voice, and the Home Camera face can show up to nine camera feeds at once. With an eligible iCloud+ plan and compatible cameras, it recognises people, familiar faces, pets, packages and vehicles, and it can alert your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch if it hears a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm.

Faces. Like an Apple Watch, HomeView has faces: Photos turns it into a living photo frame, Flow reacts to presence and movement, Snoopy animates with the time and weather, and Home Modular puts your favourite accessories one tap away.

Why HomeView isn't sold in the EU

Apple says HomeView is not available for sale in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS there, and that it is working with the EU to find a path forward. Apple hasn't given a date for an EU launch.
