Apple is releasing two new products today, Friday, November 13: the all-new Apple HomeView and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, both of which have been available to pre-order since mid-October.
- Apple HomeView: Apple’s new smart home display, powered by Apple Intelligence with Siri AI, for entertainment and managing the home. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted models, it can recognize up to six users by face, each with a personalized Home Screen. The HomeView is priced at $299.
- Apple TV 4K: adds Siri AI, the A19 chip, an updated Siri Remote with Find My, and support for four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2. The Apple TV 4K comes with 128GB of storage and is priced at $299.
Both products were announced on October 13 alongside the HomePod mini 2, which launched October 30.
As things stand, HomeView is not sold in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable on iOS in the region due to regulatory constraints. Apple has said it is “working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward,” but has provided no timeline for EU availability.
