Apple HomeView and New Apple TV 4K Go On Sale Today: Price, Features and What You Need

HomeView is Apple’s first smart display, a 7-inch screen designed to sit on a counter or mount on a wall, while the new Apple TV 4K adds Apple’s A19 chip, microphones for hands-free Siri and a full-screen Siri experience on the TV, according to Apple’s announcements.

Quick answer: HomeView ($299) is a 7-inch smart home display with an A18 chip, Siri AI, FaceTime, home controls and face recognition for up to six people. The Apple TV 4K (4th generation, $299) adds an A19 chip, far-field microphones and Find My for the Siri Remote. Both are available in the US from November 13. You need a compatible iPhone or iPad to set up HomeView, and Siri AI is in beta in English.

What HomeView does

In its HomeView announcement, Apple described the device as a shared screen for the whole household that still feels personal. “Apple HomeView is designed to be shared by everyone in the home yet feel completely personal to each user,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing.

According to Apple, HomeView:

• has a 7-inch Liquid Retina display that adjusts brightness automatically from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits;
• recognizes up to six people by face and changes what it shows for each person;
• shows up to nine security camera feeds at once;
• listens for the sound of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms;
• plays audio through two full-range drivers in the display and a down-firing woofer with two passive radiators in the base.

The tabletop model comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray. A wall-mounted version in space gray and silver uses mounts from Schneider Electric’s Schneider Home line, which start at $59.95 for a USB-C wall connector, Apple said.

What’s new in the Apple TV 4K

The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K runs on the A19 chip, which Apple says delivers up to 50% faster CPU and up to 2x faster GPU performance than the previous model, and it adds a dedicated AV1 decoder. Three far-field microphones let you say “Siri” while a show is playing, and the Siri Remote now supports Find My with Precision Finding.

The box also works as a home hub with built-in Wi-Fi and Thread, and it can pair with HomePod speakers for four-speaker surround sound. “The new Apple TV 4K is our most immersive home theater experience yet,” said Bob Borchers, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.

Price and availability

Apple said Apple TV 4K is also available through Apple Card Monthly Installments at $49.83 per month for six months, subject to credit approval. HomeView is sold in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, India and Singapore, but not in the European Union, where Apple said Siri AI is not currently available in iOS.

What you need to know before buying

Siri AI is labeled beta on both devices. Apple says HomeView needs a compatible iPhone or iPad running the latest software for setup and for recognizing different people, and personal features like your calendar and messages need an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad. Camera recognition requires a supported iCloud+ plan.

What comes next

Apple also said its Apple Home Collection of cameras, thermostats and a lock, built with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, will start arriving in December 2026, with some accessories following in early 2027. Apple has not announced prices for those products yet.
