Apple HomeView and the new Apple TV 4K go on sale in the US today — both $299

By Merry

Apple’s smart-home push reaches stores today. HomeView, Apple’s first smart home display, and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K both go on sale in the US on Friday 13 November, each priced at $299. Both were announced on 13 October and have been on pre-order since mid-October; from today you can buy them in Apple Stores, with online delivery backordered to early December.

HomeView is the new product of the pair, and the one Apple is betting on. It is a 7-inch Liquid Retina display on a domed speaker base, joined by a stainless steel hinge so the screen tilts toward whoever is looking at it. Inside is the A18 chip, the same processor that debuted in the iPhone 16 line, and a 12MP Center Stage camera that keeps people in frame on FaceTime calls. The camera also recognises up to six people in a household by face, and switches to each person’s own Home Screen when they walk up to it.

That screen is the control centre for the home: lights, locks, thermostats and cameras by touch or by voice, plus calendars, reminders, photos, music and FaceTime. The voice side runs on Siri AI, Apple’s rebuilt Siri, which ships in beta on HomeView and, for now, only in English. Apple says camera and microphone data is processed on-device inside Secure Exclaves, so it cannot be accessed by Apple.

There are two versions, and they cost the same $299 — but they are not the same purchase. The tabletop model comes in Silver, Starlight, Rose Pink and Space Gray, with the speaker base, a USB-C cable and a 30W power adapter in the box. The wall-mounted model is just the screen, in Silver or Space Gray, and needs a mount bought separately — the cheapest Schneider Home mount starts at $59.95, and the wall model ships without a power adapter. Buy the tabletop version unless you already know exactly where the wall one is going.

The new Apple TV 4K is the quieter half of the launch, but the bigger upgrade over what it replaces. It runs on the A19 chip, which Apple says is up to 50 percent faster on CPU and twice as fast on graphics as the previous model, and it comes in a single 128GB configuration for $299 — there is no cheaper 64GB model this time. Siri AI comes to the big screen, the updated Siri Remote gains Find My, and it supports four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2.

One thing to know before you go to a store: HomeView is not on sale in the European Union, because Siri AI is not yet available in iOS there. In the US it is on sale today, and most Apple Stores have same-day pickup for at least some configurations, even while online orders slip into December.
