Apple is getting into smart displays with its newHomeView. It has a seven-inch squircle design, looking similar to a gargantuan Apple Watch mounted to a speaker base. The$299 HomeViewis meant to be the centerpiece for Apple’s big push into the home, as it’s capable of controlling a host of smart home tech. Additionally, it can display recipes, show music playback controls, let you make FaceTime calls, and display a host of widgets.
The HomeView launches on Friday, November 13th, and it’ll likely be a popular holiday gift. You can preorder in in multiple colors, and you have the option at checkout to either include a speaker base (it includes a custom down-firing woofer and two passive radiators), or opt for a wall-mounted option that omits the base and its extra sound performance. They’re the same price.
