Apple has unveiled HomeView, a seven-inch smart display and speaker designed as the control center for its expanded smart home ecosystem, alongside a collection of connected devices developed with LG Electronics.
HomeView draws personalized information from a user’s iPhone or iPad and provides access to cameras, lighting, thermostats and other devices through Apple’s Home app. Its updated Siri AI can use information from an iPhone to answer contextual requests, such as identifying a song mentioned in a message. The display also supports FaceTime, recipe handoff from an iPhone and a Safari recipe mode with ingredient lists, directions and timer shortcuts.
Apple will offer tabletop and wall-mounted versions. Engadget reported that the aluminum-framed tabletop model includes additional speakers in its stand, while the wall-mounted version relies on two drivers built into the display.
LG’s accompanying lineup comprises an indoor camera, two outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, smart lock, thermostat and temperature sensor. The Korea Herald reported that LG will manufacture, sell and support the products, while Apple contributed to their design and features. The devices support both Apple’s ecosystem and LG’s ThinQ platform.
The LG-branded collection is scheduled to begin launching in the United States and Canada in December, with some products following in early 2027. The cameras and video doorbell are also planned for the United Kingdom.
