Apple Homeview
In short
Apple HomeView is a new 7-inch smart home display hub launched at the 'Welcome Home' event on 13 October 2026. It combines smart home controls, FaceTime video calls, and Siri AI features into a single device.
In plain words
It is a small screen for your house that lets you control lights, talk to family on video, and see photos. It uses Apple's AI to help manage your home and answer questions.
A simple example
You can tap the screen to dim the living room lights or ask Siri to find a specific video from your HomeKit security cameras.
Why it matters
It acts as a central brain for a smart home, making it easier to manage many different gadgets at once. However, some advanced AI features require you to own an iPhone or iPad with Apple Intelligence.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse it with the Apple TV, which is a box for your television rather than a standalone smart display.
