All Apple HomeView Models | All 2026 Models
Essentially a more powerful HomePod with a proper display -- or perhaps somewhat cynically, a cheap, battery-less, hobbled iPhone mounted on a stand that requires you to also have an iPhone or iPad -- the Apple HomeView is a "smart display" that promises to bring "entertainment, connection, and smart home management together in one place." Designed primarily with voice interaction via Siri AI in mind, the Apple HomeView is intended for as many as six people in a household "yet feel completely personal to each user."
Externally, the Apple HomeView (Standard, Speaker Base) model has a square, touch-sensitive 7" (diagonal) "Liquid Retina" display (1088x1088, 220 ppi) with a 12 megapixel "Center Stage" camera integrated in the upper trim and mounted on a short arm that allows the display to be angled up and down. This display is attached to a small, rounded "gumdrop" aluminum base -- offered in four subtle metallic colors; silver, a warm gray "Starlight", "Rose Pink" or dark "Space Gray" -- and packing multiple speakers in the display and the base alike. Audio hardware includes "two custom full-range drivers, a custom down-firing woofer, and dual force-canceling passive radiators."
Internally, the Apple HomeView is powered by a (Pending) Apple A18 processor, has (Pending) GB of RAM, and (Pending) GB of storage. It supports Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) with MIMO, Bluetooth 6, and Thread networking, as well.
Pricing varies by country, but in the United States, it is US$299 regardless of color.

| Processor Speed: |
Pending* |
Processor Type: |
Apple A18 |
| Details: |
*Apple provides limited technical details about the HomeView, but the company does report that it is powered by an Apple A18 processor of unspecified clockspeed. If it is similar to the Apple A18 processor in the iPhone 16e and iPhone 16, it likely has six CPU cores with two "performance" cores and four "efficiency" cores and runs around 4.0 GHz. It likely has either four GPU cores or five GPU cores, like either the iPhone 16e or iPhone 16, respectively, but this is all subject to confirmation (Pending). |
| Onboard RAM: |
Pending* |
Storage Capacity: |
Pending* |
| Details: |
*Apple provides no public information about the amount of storage or RAM in the Apple HomeView, but it likely is 8 GB. Both the iPhone 16e and iPhone 16 use the Apple A18 processor and have 8 GB of RAM.
8 GB of RAM also is the minimum to run Apple Intelligence. The HomeView supports "Siri AI" -- powered by Apple Intelligence -- which might also require a minimum of 8 GB of RAM if Siri AI is processed entirely on device (it requires a iPhone or iPad running iOS 27.2/iPadOS 27.2 or later on the network at least to identify you and it could be used for some processing, as well). However, this is speculative and subject to confirmation (Pending). |
