Apple HomeView and the new Apple TV 4K are available today, November 13, and the first Apple Home Collection accessories can be ordered the same day. Apple HomeView is sold in seven countries and skips the European Union, where Siri AI is not available.
The LG Video Doorbell Wired, LG Indoor Cam Plug-in and LG Outdoor Cam Plug-in are the three Home Collection accessories you can order now, and the rest of the lineup follows in December and early 2027. The wall-mounted HomeView needs a separate mount from Schneider Home.
Apple HomeView Sells in Seven Countries
You can buy Apple HomeView today in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. Singapore is new since pre-orders opened in October, when the display was listed for six countries.
Siri AI is unavailable in iOS in the European Union, so Apple will not sell the display there. Apple says it is working with the EU to find a path forward.
Siri AI on HomeView is a beta in HomeView software 27.2 and works in English only. Canadian French is coming later in a free software update. If you pair the display with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, Siri AI can use your Calendar and Messages to answer personal requests.
Wall Mounts Cost Extra
The tabletop HomeView comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray, and the wall-mounted model comes in silver and space gray. Both cost $299, but wall mounts cost extra because the wall-mounted model needs a mount from Schneider Home.
The Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector starts at $59.95 and the Power Mount AC Wired starts at $79.95, and you can order both today. The Power Mount PoE Wired costs $129.95 and arrives in early 2027, so the cheapest wall-mounted setup costs $358.95.
HomeView recognizes up to six people by face. Your personal content in Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders and Find My appears only when it recognizes you and your paired iPhone or iPad is present and recently unlocked. The first HomeView reviews praised the sound and faulted Siri AI.
Apple TV 4K Is Available Today
The new Apple TV 4K is in Apple Stores and on Apple’s online store today with the A19 chip, which Apple rates at up to 50 percent faster CPU performance and up to 2x faster GPU performance than the previous generation. Three far-field microphones let you say “Hey Siri” without the remote.
Siri AI is a beta on the new box and on Apple TV 4K models from the 2nd generation onward, once they run tvOS 27.2.1. Siri AI needs the owner of the home in the Home app to have an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad.
You can also set up four-speaker HomePod surround sound with the new Apple TV 4K, using two matching front speakers and two matching rear speakers. The speakers can be HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation) units.
Home Collection Orders Open Today
Apple’s online store takes orders today for the LG Video Doorbell Wired at $249.95, the LG Indoor Cam Plug-in at $199.95 and the LG Outdoor Cam Plug-in at $299.95. Apple says availability for the lineup begins in December.
The LG Floodlight Cam, LG Smart Deadbolt Lock, LG Smart Thermostat and Schneider Home Smart Thermostat cannot be ordered yet, and select accessories do not arrive until early 2027.
The cameras need a home hub such as HomeView, HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K, and each camera gets 10 days of event video history in your iCloud+ plan with no camera subscription. The 50GB plan covers one camera, the 200GB plan covers up to five, and the 2TB plan covers an unlimited number. The cameras are sold in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, while the deadbolt and thermostats are limited to the United States and Canada.
Our Take
If you already own an Apple TV 4K from the 2nd generation onward, Siri AI reaches it through a software update, so I would buy the new box only for the far-field microphones and HomePod surround sound. I would also pick the tabletop HomeView first, since the wall-mounted model needs a mount that costs extra. Which of these products are you buying?
