Apple's Smart Home Hub Will Reportedly Be Called HomeView, Debuting Tuesday
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's first smart home display will be named HomeView, shown at Tuesday's 'Welcome Home' event and on sale in mid-November.
Apple's long-rumoured smart home display will reportedly be called HomeView, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The device is expected to debut at Apple's 'Welcome Home' event on Tuesday and reach stores a few weeks later, in mid-November.
Two versions are reported: a countertop HomeView with a metal speaker base, offered in space grey, silver, starlight and pink, and a wall-mounted model in space grey and silver. Both use the display and Siri to control the home.
The same report points to a refreshed HomePod mini with the S10 chip, expected in Apple stores from 30 October, and a new Apple TV box with the A19 chip. Together they would give Apple a fuller answer to Amazon's Echo and Google's Nest line-up.
Why it matters
It would be Apple's first dedicated smart home screen, a category Amazon and Google have led for years.
What's next
Apple's 'Welcome Home' event on Tuesday 13 October should confirm the name, prices and dates.
