Apple HomeView: Release date, features, design and what to know before October 13 launch

Apple is set to unveil a new smart home hub called HomeView on October 13 as part of its "Welcome home" event. This device, which will join Apple's existing HomePod line, combines a screen with smart home features to provide a unique user experience. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, HomeView will be released in November and come in two versions: a speaker-based model with a color choice of space gray, silver, starlight, and pink, and a wall-mounted version with silver or space gray options.

HomeView is expected to feature a floating display above a speaker base, inspired by Apple's iMac G4 design. It will run on Apple's A18 chip and primarily rely on voice commands via Siri, Apple's AI-powered voice assistant. The device will allow users to view content from across the room without constant close-range interaction.

Apple is also preparing updates for the Apple TV set-top box and the HomePod mini, as well as partnering with appliance makers to expand its smart home ecosystem.
