Your smart home hub on a single display
Apple HomeView combines a smart display, voice assistant and Apple Home hub. The 7″ Liquid Retina display lets you manage lights, thermostats, locks, cameras, scenes and automation, view live feeds from up to nine cameras at once, and quickly check on your home.
Personalised experience for everyone
HomeView uses facial recognition to identify up to six family members, displaying a personalised home screen, widgets and content for each person. Messages, Calendar or Reminders only appear for the recognised user when their paired iPhone or iPad is nearby and has been recently unlocked.
Siri AI and Apple Intelligence
The A18 chip powers Siri AI, enabling more natural conversations, web-based knowledge, on-screen content awareness and, when paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad, personal context from your apps. Activate Siri with your voice or a gesture from the top of the display.
FaceTime and home communication
The 12Mpx camera with Centre Stage keeps you in frame during FaceTime calls, even as you move around. Four microphones capture your voice from a distance while suppressing background noise. Use Intercom to send voice messages to other HomeView devices, HomePods, iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches.
Spatial audio and entertainment
Two full-range drivers in the display, a downward-firing subwoofer and dual passive radiators in the base deliver rich sound with support for spatial audio and Dolby Atmos. Real-time computational audio adjusts volume and bass response, while AirPlay connects HomeView to other speakers in your multiroom system.
Elegant desktop design
The 7″ display connects to the dome-shaped aluminium base via a stainless steel hinge, letting you smoothly adjust the angle. True Tone and auto-brightness ranging from 0.3 to 500 nits adapt the screen to both daylight and your bedside table. The desktop HomeView comes in four colours and includes a colour-matched USB-C cable and 30W adapter.
