Apple HomeView goes on sale today, November 13, 2026, at $299 in the US, with the same $299 price on the wall-mounted version. It is a 7-inch smart home display that recognizes up to six people by face and runs Siri AI, which Apple still labels a beta on this device.
If you were waiting for launch day to decide, the useful details are in the fine print: where it ships, what needs a paired iPhone, and which features cost extra later.
TL;DR: Apple HomeView costs $299 in either tabletop or wall-mounted form and reaches eight markets today, but not the EU. The personal features lean on a recent iPhone or iPad, Siri AI is in beta, and some server features have daily limits and a future fee. Buy it if your household is already deep in Apple’s ecosystem.
What Apple HomeView costs and where it ships
Apple HomeView is available from November 13 in the US, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and the UK, according to Apple’s newsroom. Singapore and South Africa also get it today, with South African orders going through Apple Authorized Resellers.
The EU is missing. Apple says HomeView is not sold there because Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS in the region, and that it is working with the EU.
| Model | Price | Colors | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| HomeView (tabletop) | $299 | Silver, Starlight, Rose Pink, Space Gray | USB-C cable and power adapter included |
| HomeView (Wall Mounted) | $299 | Space Gray, Silver | Needs wired power and a mount sold separately |
| Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector | From $59.95 | N/A | Schneider Home mount, orderable now |
| Power Mount AC Wired | From $79.95 | N/A | Schneider Home mount, orderable now |
| Power Mount PoE Wired | $129.95 | N/A | Due in early 2027 |
The wall-mounted model has the same display and features, so the real extra cost is the mount. That adds $59.95 to $129.95 depending on how you want to run power.
What the display and Siri AI actually do
The screen is a 7-inch Liquid Retina display on a hinge above a domed speaker base, powered by an A18 chip. Apple says that chip uses Secure Exclaves to process camera and microphone data, and the product page lists a 12MP Center Stage camera and four beamforming microphones.
Each recognized person gets a personalized Home Screen. Walk up as a guest and you can still control accessories, check the weather or set a timer, just without anyone’s personal data on show.
Siri AI is where the caveats pile up. Apple’s newsroom footnote says it is available in beta in HomeView software version 27.2, in English only to start, and the personal context features need a paired Apple Intelligence iPhone or iPad. Apple has already dropped the waitlist on the phone side, as covered in our Siri AI waitlist report, but HomeView does not escape the beta label.
That dependence on your phone is the detail most launch coverage will gloss over. A HomeView in a shared kitchen is only as personal as the iPhone nearby.
Smart home control and the extras that cost more
HomeView controls cameras, thermostats, lights, locks and blinds by touch or voice, and its Home Camera face can show up to nine video feeds. It also listens for smoke and carbon monoxide alarm sounds.
Recognition of people, pets, packages and vehicles through compatible cameras requires an iCloud+ subscription, per Apple. Accessories are sold separately and need to be HomeKit or Matter enabled, so a starter kit of cameras and a lock adds to the $299 quickly.
Apple also says some server-side Apple Intelligence features have daily usage limits, and that expanded access will cost a fee in the future. The pages I read give no amount for that fee.
On accessories, the Apple Home Collection of cameras, thermostats and a lock, developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, arrives in December, with select accessories in early 2027.
Who should buy HomeView on launch day
If your household already runs on iPhones, an Apple Account and a few Matter devices, HomeView is an Apple display built around exactly that setup. The $299 price is not the number to watch. The subscription and the future Siri AI fee are.
Anyone outside Apple’s ecosystem, or in the EU, has little reason to move yet. Apple also notes privacy handling: Siri requests use on-device processing or Private Cloud Compute, and Messages and Calendar content appears only when the enrolled user is recognized and a paired device is nearby and recently unlocked.
Not a dramatic change, but an honest one: Apple is selling a home screen that treats the people in the room differently.
