Posted Updated (20 d ago)

Apple announced the HomeView, its first smart display, at its "Welcome home" event. It has a 7-inch square screen and costs $299. Ars Technica reports that its camera can recognize up to six users.

The Verge reports that preorders are open. There are two models at the same $299 price: one with a speaker base and one "Wall Mounted" version. The Verge says buyers of the wall-mounted model must pay at least $59 more for the mount.

The device has built-in Siri AI. The Verge says it is meant to control smart home devices and serve as a personal assistant and household hub. A Verge reporter who tried it lists video calls, photo display and at-a-glance information as uses. CNBC describes it as a showcase for Siri AI.

CNBC reports that Apple also announced a new Apple TV 4K and a HomePod Mini at the event.
