  "account": "Apple's newest smart home hub, HomeView, was initially available for pre-order on Tuesday with an expected delivery date of November 13. However, those who did not place a pre-order may now experience a longer wait, as Apple's estimated delivery dates have extended into early December for certain colors of the tabletop HomeView. Delivery times vary by ZIP code in the U.S.; for instance, the silver tabletop HomeView is projected to arrive between November 23 and December 1 in New York, while other locations may see delivery between November 30 and December 7. The tabletop HomeView is still available for launch day delivery on November 13 in select colors and locations in the U.S., while the wall-mounted HomeView does not face any delays as of now. Apple TV 4K delivery estimates are also similar: November 23-December 1 in some parts of the U.S., and November 30-December 7 in others. The HomePod mini 2 is widely available for delivery on its scheduled Friday, October 30 launch day across the U.S., offering all five color options. It's important to note that Siri AI will not be available on the HomePod mini 2 until a future software update, as disclosed by Apple.",
