Apple to Unveil 'HomeView' Smart Hub and Refreshed Home Ecosystem at October 13 Event
Apple is set to unveil its long-rumored smart home hub, officially named HomeView, alongside a new Apple TV 4K and updated HomePod mini at a 'Welcome Home' event in New York on October 13, 2026. The HomeView, powered by an A18 chip, will feature a touchscreen and serve as a central command center for HomeKit, leveraging Siri AI for voice control. It will be available in countertop and wall-mounted variants, with the countertop model offering superior audio and multiple color options. While the Apple TV and HomePod mini are expected to launch on October 30, the HomeView is slated for a mid-November release. The event also includes a new 'Apple Home Collection' of third-party accessories from partners like LG and Schneider Electric.
