Apple has officially introduced the HomeView, its new AI-powered smart home display designed for entertainment, video calls and controlling connected smart devices around the house.

Powered by Apple’s A18 chip and Apple Intelligence, the HomeView features a 7-inch Liquid Retina display, a 12MP Center Stage camera for FaceTime and built-in speakers with Spatial Audio support.

Unlike an iPad, the HomeView is designed as a shared household device that can recognise up to six people and automatically switch to their personalised Home Screen, apps and widgets.

It comes in two versions: a tabletop model with a speaker base and a slimmer wall-mounted model.
