Apple will launch two new products today, Friday, November 13: the new Apple HomeView and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, both of which have been available for pre-order since mid-October. Apple HomeView: Apple’s new smart home display, powered by Apple Intelligence with Siri AI, for entertainment and home management. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted models, it can recognize up to six users per face, each with a personalized home screen. The HomeView is priced at $299. Apple TV 4K: Adds Siri AI, the A19 chip, an updated Siri Remote with Find My, and support for quad-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2. The Apple TV 4K comes with 128GB of storage and is priced at $299. Both products were announced on October 13 along with the HomePod mini 2, which launched on October 30. As it stands, HomeView is not sold in the European Union because Siri AI is currently not available on iOS in the region due to regulatory restrictions. Apple has said it is “working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward,” but has not provided a timeline for EU availability.
