Apple unveils new smart home devices that showcase upgraded Siri AI
TL;DR
New products from Apple include the HomeView, an iPad-like device that acts as a hub for other smart home gadgets Apple on Tuesday began showing off a new round of smart home products, including an iPad-like device dubbed the HomeView, meant to hang on walls or perch on tabletops and act as a hub for other smart home devices. The HomeView device starts at $299 and will begin shipping next month.
Nauti's Take
For small teams, HomeView is primarily a test of Apple’s real smart-home integration, rather than Siri’s marketing claims. Before buying, verify which devices, user profiles, and automations are supported at launch, and whether face recognition runs locally.
The details currently come from a single report, so pricing, availability, and Siri capabilities should be treated as provisional.
