Apple HomeView launches at $299 in the U.S., with regional and Siri AI limits

Apple HomeView went on sale on November 13, 2026, in the U.S., UK, Canada, Australia, India, New Zealand and Singapore. Both tabletop and wall-mounted models cost $299 in the U.S. Türkiye is absent from the launch list, with no Turkish price announced. Apple says it is not selling HomeView in the European Union because of Siri AI availability on iOS there. Certain server features have daily quotas. Schneider mounts cost extra: USB-C starts at $59.95 and AC at $79.95; a $129.95 PoE version is planned for early 2027. Apple availability announcement

Two designs with a shared display platform

Specifications list an A18 chip, a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and a 12MP Center Stage camera. The screen offers 1088×1088 resolution, True Tone and a brightness range of 0.3–500 nits. The tabletop model comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray; the wall-mounted model offers silver and space gray. Listed weights are 952 grams and 286 grams respectively. These are manufacturer specifications, not independent performance-test results. Technical specifications

Language and device requirements matter

Siri AI is in beta in HomeView software 27.2. HomeView and its paired iPhone or iPad must use the same English variant. Personal-context requests require a paired Apple Intelligence-capable device with current software and Siri AI enabled. Personalization therefore is not identical for every owner regardless of their phone. Release notes also describe FaceTime, messaging, multiroom audio and HomeKit/Matter controls. Turkish support is not announced in this document. HomeView 27.2 notes

Personal information is shown conditionally

Apple describes personalization for up to six users and isolated Secure Exclaves for processing camera and microphone data. Showing personal messages or calendars requires facial recognition of an enrolled user and the presence of their recently unlocked paired device. Siri requests can run on-device or through Private Cloud Compute. These are Apple's descriptions of its protections, not findings from an independent security audit. Design and privacy announcement

The software notes include a Wi-Fi exception: a paired device may retain access when it has cellular connectivity at the same location and recently used the same network. Facial recognition and recent unlocking remain required. Personal-content footnote

The hardware price does not mean unlimited services

Apple's usage-limit document says certain server-model features can have quotas and that increased access will cost money in the future. It does not provide a subscription price. Some Home features, such as video summaries, have iCloud+ camera allowances: one camera with 2 TB, two with 6 TB and five with 12 TB. These should not be generalized into limits on every camera-viewing function. Apple Intelligence usage limits

Power arrangements also differ. The tabletop model includes its cable and adapter, while wall-mounted HomeView requires a separately purchased compatible third-party mounting and power solution. Support documentation specifies at least a 30W USB-C adapter for the tabletop version and 20W for the wall-mounted model. Mounting and power costs should therefore be included when comparing the two installations. Power-adapter support
