Will the HomeView be Apple’s first smart home success?
Apple will announce a new smart home hub on Tuesday called the HomeView, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman .
Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen multiple reports that Apple was working on a new smart home product , but now it seems the product has a name and a launch date. Gurman described the HomeView as a Siri-powered device with a display and an A18 chip, allowing customers to control their other smart home devices.
The HomeView will reportedly be available in two models — one designed for countertops and the other to be mounted on walls.
This would be Apple’s most serious bet on the smart home to date, after it failed to get much traction for its HomeKit software framework or its HomePod smart speaker.
Gurman reports that on Tuesday, Apple will also be unveiling updated versions of two other home devices, namely the Apple TV set-top box and the HomePod mini. Earlier this week, he said that Apple plans to announce a partnership with LG to create a smart lock, a thermostat, and a doorbell.
