Apple will begin selling the HomeView smart display and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on November 13, placing a new home-control device alongside a substantially higher-priced streaming box in its hardware lineup. HomeView costs $299 in either its tabletop or wall-mounted configuration, while the new Apple TV 4K is offered in one 128GB model at $299.
The two products take different approaches to the home. HomeView is designed as a hub centered on an iPhone, with a touchscreen, speaker base and access to Apple’s redesigned Siri. Apple TV 4K remains the company’s dedicated television source component, but the new model moves from the previous generation’s A15 Bionic to the A19 chip. Both products use Apple’s Secure Exclaves to process camera and microphone information on the device for Siri.
HomeView adds a display to Apple’s home platform
HomeView uses a 7-inch, 1,088 by 1,088 touchscreen and the A18 chip from the iPhone 16. Apple has positioned it as a home hub that pairs with an iPhone or iPad rather than as a fully independent smart display. Its software mirrors applications from those devices using technology described as similar to CarPlay.
That architecture distinguishes HomeView from Amazon’s Echo Show and Google’s Nest Hub, which are presented in the announcement as competing smart-display products. HomeView’s camera and microphones are handled inside Secure Exclaves, allowing the device to recognize the faces and voices of up to six household members without exposing that data to Apple or the operating system.
The wall-mounted version does not include the mounting hardware in the $299 product price. A Schneider Home mount starts at $59.95. Apple is selling HomeView in eight countries, including the US, UK, Canada and India, but not in the European Union. The company said it is working with regulators on a path forward for EU availability.
Apple TV 4K doubles down on a single configuration
The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K also goes on sale November 13, with Apple offering a single 128GB configuration for $299. That is $150 above the equivalent previous model’s launch price in 2022 and $50 above the $249 price Apple charged after an increase earlier in 2026. The higher price arrives as Apple has warned that memory costs will reduce its holiday-quarter margins.
For integrators, the most visible changes are therefore split between the two products: HomeView introduces a new screen-based control point and requires an Apple mobile device as part of its operating model, while Apple TV 4K gains a newer application processor and a single storage tier. The products also share Apple’s current Siri direction, although the company’s Siri AI remains in beta, in English only, on both devices.

Siri remains a platform consideration
Apple says Siri can use personal context from Messages, Calendar and other applications when users opt in. Some expanded server-side features are expected to carry a fee later, according to the announcement. That combination of local processing, paired-device dependence and an evolving Siri service gives dealers and integrators several platform details to account for when evaluating the two products for Apple-centered installations.
- HomeView: $299 for either the tabletop or wall-mounted device.
- Mounting: the wall-mounted model requires a Schneider Home mount starting at $59.95.
- Apple TV 4K: fourth-generation hardware with an A19 chip and 128GB of storage for $299.
- Availability: both products go on sale November 13.
