Apple Just Announced a New Gadget that Could Be Key to Its AI Push
The $299 HomeView device features a 7-inch display and Artificial Intelligence, allowing the hub to recognize up to six household members by face, Apple said.
- On Tuesday, October 13, Apple unveiled HomeView, a $299 smart display hub, alongside refreshed HomePod mini and Apple TV hardware, marking the company's official entry into the competitive smart home market.
- Seeking to challenge Amazon and Google, Apple entered the smart home sector after development delays forced it to wait for Siri AI maturity; the company resisted shipping until the assistant was ready.
- Inspired by the 2002 iMac G4, HomeView features a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and uses facial recognition to provide personalized content for up to six household members with distinct privacy profiles.
- Apple also introduced the 'Apple Home Collection,' a new ecosystem of cameras, thermostats, and locks developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, directly challenging Amazon-owned Ring's dominance in home security.
- For Apple CEO John Ternus, the launch represents a significant leadership test less than two months into his September tenure, with HomeView available for preorder now and shipping November 13.
