Apple will begin selling its HomeView smart display on November 13 in an initial group of markets, but the device will not officially launch in the European Union. Apple links the absence of an EU release to Siri AI, which is not currently available on iOS in the region, and says it is discussing a solution with European regulators. No EU launch date has been announced.
Initial HomeView availability includes the following markets:
- United States
- Canada
- United Kingdom
- Australia
- New Zealand
- India
- Singapore
Both HomeView versions are priced at $299 in the US. Canadian pricing is CAD 429. Apple has not detailed pricing for the other launch markets.
HomeView is Apple’s first dedicated smart display for the home. The device has a 7-inch Liquid Retina panel and is designed for music playback, FaceTime calls, calendar viewing and smart-home accessory control. It can sit on a table or be purchased in a wall-mount version.
Through the Home app, HomeView can control compatible accessories and automations. Siri AI can answer questions and use information shown on the display. Apple says the device can recognize up to six people, while setup and multi-user use require a compatible iPhone or iPad.
Personalized content can be displayed from these apps:
- Calendar
- Messages
- FaceTime
Personal-context responses also require a paired device with Apple Intelligence and Siri AI enabled. Siri AI on HomeView is currently offered as a beta feature in English in selected regions, while some features using server-based AI models carry daily limits. Apple says expanded access will be available for a fee in the future.
That dependency on Siri AI leaves the EU rollout without a timetable, even as HomeView reaches its first markets.
