Apple’s new HomeView to add two major features not yet announced, per leaks

Apple is set to launch its HomeView and new Apple TV 4K this Friday, November 13. However, leaks in Apple code have revealed two unannounced features that are already in the works. Leaker pdfu found evidence in HomeView 27.2 software that indicates Apple is preparing to add security camera functionality to the product. While much of the work for this feature has already been done to integrate with HomeKit Secure Video, Apple has yet to announce any sort of security camera functionality, leaving the possibility that it may never be enabled.

Additionally, pdfu discovered a key change in iOS 27.3's beta that reveals support for third-party AI apps is coming to HomeView. This update adds conversational apps like AI chatbots to the product's supported apps, which at launch, will only include audio and video apps. While no purchase decision should be made based on these potential features, Apple does have ambitious plans for software updates to its new product.
