Apple is expanding its smart home lineup today with the launch of two new products. Today, the Apple HomeView and fourth-generation Apple TV 4K are now available in Canada and other global markets.

Apple announced both devices during its October 13 product event, alongside the second-generation HomePod mini, which arrived earlier on October 30. The launches represent Apple’s latest effort to bring Apple Intelligence and its upgraded Siri AI assistant into the living room.

The Apple HomeView introduces a dedicated smart home display designed for entertainment, household management and controlling connected accessories. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted configurations, the device uses facial recognition to identify up to six household members and present a personalized Home Screen for each user.

With Siri AI integration, HomeView aims to simplify everyday interactions with compatible smart home devices while providing access to entertainment and household information. The HomeView starts at $429 for the regular model. A wall-mounted variant is also available, but the supporting mount is an additional cost.

The device won’t initially be available in the European Union, where regulatory restrictions have delayed the rollout of Siri AI. Apple says it’s working with European regulators but hasn’t announced a regional release date.

The fourth-generation Apple TV 4K introduces Apple’s A19 chip, bringing improved performance and support for Siri AI. The streaming device also includes 128GB of storage and an updated Siri Remote with Find My integration, making it easier to locate a misplaced remote.

Another addition is four-speaker surround sound support when paired with compatible HomePod mini 2 speakers. The new Apple TV 4K is priced at $429.

Together, the launches expand Apple’s connected home ecosystem, combining AI-powered assistance, personalized controls and upgraded entertainment features. Both devices have been available for pre-order since mid-October, and customer shipments are expected to arrive today.
