Apple reportedly names new smart home hub HomeView

Apple is reportedly planning to launch a new smart home hub named HomeView, which will function as a central Siri command center for its smart home ecosystem. The device is expected to feature a display and will not have access to the App Store, instead relying on third-party accessories connected via Siri or the Home app. Apple is collaborating with companies like LG and Schneider Electric SE for these accessories, which will be part of the "Apple Home Collection." The HomeView is anticipated to launch in mid-November, following potential refreshes to the HomePod mini and Apple TV. AI
