Apple HomeView and Apple TV 4K will go on sale on Friday, November 13, as per Apple’s October 13 announcement. Both cost $299 in the United States, and Apple will not sell the smart display in the European Union.
Siri AI runs as a beta on both devices, works in English in eight countries, and uses a paired Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad for personal requests.
Apple HomeView skips the European Union, and Siri AI is still in beta
Apple HomeView is sold in eight countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and India. The European Union is not one of them, since Siri AI is missing on EU iPhones, and Apple says it is working with the EU on a path forward.
Siri AI is a beta in Apple HomeView software 27.2 and in tvOS 27.2. It also runs on older Apple TV 4K models from the 2nd generation onward, so you do not need the new box to try it.
The home owner on an Apple TV 4K needs an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad on the latest software before Siri AI works. Some server-side features have daily usage limits, and Apple says expanded access will cost a fee in the future.
Apple HomeView and Apple TV 4K both cost $299 in the United States
Apple HomeView has a 7-inch display and recognizes up to six people, and the tabletop version and Apple HomeView (Wall Mounted) both cost $299.
The wall-mounted version needs a Schneider Home mount, and the cheapest is the Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector at $59.95, so Apple HomeView (Wall Mounted) costs at least $358.95 with a mount. The Power Mount PoE Wired costs $129.95 and arrives in early 2027.
The new Apple TV 4K comes in one 128GB model at $299. Pre-orders cover the United States and 29 other countries and regions.
Apple rates the A19 chip at up to 50 percent faster CPU performance and up to 2x faster GPU performance than the previous generation. Its dedicated AV1 decoder lets streams use less bandwidth, and the new Siri Remote adds Find My with Precision Finding so you can locate a lost remote and play a sound on it.
Four-speaker surround sound needs four matching HomePod speakers
You need the Apple TV 4K (4th generation) for four-speaker HomePod surround sound, plus two matching front speakers and two matching rear speakers. The speakers can be HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation) units.
The HomePod mini 2 has been in stores since October 30, and Siri AI will reach it in a future software update. When the speakers are paired with the Apple TV 4K, they work out where each one sits in the room and calibrate audio timing and levels on their own.
