Apple unveils HomeView smart display and other home devices
–
Neutral summary
On October 13, Apple held its “Welcome home” event in New York, unveiling several smart home products. The centerpiece was the HomeView, a 7-inch display with a speaker that recognizes up to six faces and shows each family member their messages, calendar, and reminders. The device comes in two versions — tabletop and wall-mounted — both priced at $299, though the wall version has fewer hardware components. Sales begin November 13, but the HomeView will not be sold in the European Union, and no Brazil release date was given. Apple also introduced the HomePod mini 2 at £149, the Apple TV 4K with Siri AI, and the Apple Home Collection accessories developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. All new devices depend on the iPhone and use Siri AI, which was rebuilt earlier this summer. According to Xataka, European users will not be able to use the new devices to their full potential due to the lack of Siri AI. Apple's stock rose after the announcement. Reports also indicate Apple plans another event in late October for new Macs and an iPad.
