. Apple's new HomeView smart hub will have a touch-enabled display and support Siri AI for voice control. It'll be available in a tabletop version with a metal speaker base and a wall-mounted version. The tabletop HomeView will offer better sound quality than the HomePod mini.

The tabletop HomeView will be available in four finishes: Gray, Silver, Starlight, and Rose. The wall-mounted version will be limited to Gray and Silver. HomeView will be unveiled on October 13, but the device is not launching until mid-November.

The new HomeView smart hub will have a selection of Apple apps, but no App Store for third-party apps. It'll be accompanied by an Apple Home Collection of accessories developed in partnership with companies like LG and Schneider Electric.
