Apple HomeView and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K go on sale on Friday, November 13, 2026, and each costs $299 in the United States. Apple announced both on October 13, and pre-orders have been open since then.
HomeView is a new 7-inch smart display on a speaker base, meant for shared rooms such as a kitchen or living room. The Apple TV 4K is the streaming box, now built around an A19 chip. This story draws on Apple Newsroom, plus Macworld’s guide to HomeView for the figures Apple leaves out.
What is Apple HomeView?
HomeView pairs a Liquid Retina display with a domed speaker base joined by a stainless steel hinge, so the screen can tilt to suit different table heights. Apple lists these specs:
- Display: 7 inches, with automatic brightness from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits and True Tone
- Chip: A18, with Secure Exclaves handling camera and microphone data
- Audio: two custom full-range drivers in the display, a down-firing woofer and two passive radiators in the base, with Spatial Audio
- Camera: 12MP Center Stage camera for FaceTime, according to Macworld
- Connections: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0, Thread and Matter support, according to Macworld
- Colors: silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray for the tabletop model, space gray and silver for the wall-mounted model
It recognizes up to six people by face and gives each a personalized Home Screen. Apple says personal content from Messages and Calendar appears only when that person is recognized and their paired iPhone or iPad is nearby and recently unlocked.
What is new on the Apple TV 4K?
The headline change is the A19 chip. Apple says the CPU is up to 50% faster and the GPU up to 2x faster than the previous generation, and it adds a dedicated AV1 decoder for streaming.
- Three far-field microphones for hands-free Siri requests
- Wi-Fi and Thread built in
- Four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2 or HomePod (2nd generation)
- A Siri Remote that keeps its familiar design and adds Find My with Precision Finding
Precision Finding needs an iPhone Air or an iPhone 17 or later, excluding the iPhone 17e. The remote is sold separately and also works with Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K. Apple’s release does not list storage, Ethernet or HDR format support, so check those on the product page before buying.
How much do they cost and where are they sold?
Both devices are $299 in the US. Macworld also lists HomeView at £299 in the UK. Apple’s pages give no prices for the other launch countries, and we are not converting any.
- Apple TV 4K: $299, or $49.83 per month for six months through Apple Card Monthly Installments at 0% APR, subject to credit approval
- HomeView wall mounts from Schneider Home, sold separately: from $59.95 for USB-C, from $79.95 for AC wired, and from $129.95 for PoE wired, which arrives in early 2027
HomeView goes on sale November 13 in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the UK and the US, and in South Africa through Apple Authorized Resellers. Singapore pre-orders opened October 15. Apple TV 4K pre-orders cover the US and 29 other countries and regions.
HomeView is not sold in the EU. Apple says the new Siri is currently unavailable in iOS there, and that it is working with the EU on a path forward. No EU date has been given.
Who it suits
Households already on iPhone and iPad. HomeView’s personal features depend on a paired iPhone or iPad running version 27.2 or later, so it makes most sense if everyone in the home already uses Apple devices. Macworld notes there is no built-in battery, so it must stay plugged in.
Owners of an older Apple TV 4K. The new Siri beta also reaches Apple TV 4K (2nd generation or later) through tvOS 27.2, so Siri alone is not a reason to replace a working box. The A19 chip, the AV1 decoder and the Find My remote are the real differences.
Anyone cautious about cameras and microphones in the kitchen. Macworld reports there is no physical privacy switch, only software controls. Apple says Siri requests run on the device or on Private Cloud Compute.
Readers in the EU. HomeView is not for sale there for now, and Apple has not said how long that will last.
The new Siri is a beta at launch, in English only in the US, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa and the UK. Apple plans Canadian French through a free update. Before ordering, read Apple’s HomeView and Apple TV 4K pages in your own country for local pricing.
