Apple begins shipments of HomeView smart display for $299
The first customers in Australia and New Zealand have started receiving the Apple HomeView—a home display with a 7-inch screen, camera, and Siri voice assistant.

Sales of HomeView will launch on November 13. Apple introduced the device in October as a smart home control hub. Through it, users can turn on compatible devices, make video calls, listen to music, watch videos, and check their calendar or weather forecast.
HomeView can recognize up to six family members by voice and face and display personalized information for each. The display includes pre-installed Apple apps and supports widgets from the iPhone. However, the device does not have its own App Store.
Apple offers a desktop version with an acoustic base and a model for wall mounting. The wall-mounting bracket for the wall version is sold separately. The starting price for HomeView in the U.S. is $299.
