Apple confirms US pricing and availability for its new smart home display, while the EU is excluded with no launch date at all.
Key points
- Apple HomeView goes on sale across the US starting Friday, November 13, 2026, priced at $299 (before sales tax) for both the tabletop and wall-mounted versions.
- The device launches the same day in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, the UK, plus Singapore and South Africa.
- Apple says HomeView “is not available for sale in the European Union, as Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS in the EU,” with no EU date announced.
Apple has confirmed that HomeView, its new smart home display, goes on sale across the US on November 13 for $299. It’s a home-market launch for Apple, at a time when the device remains locked out of the entire European Union.
For American buyers, HomeView arrives with a confirmed price, a confirmed date and full Siri AI support in English. That stands in sharp contrast to the EU, where Apple has set no price and no date.
What Apple HomeView offers
Apple describes HomeView as a central screen for home and entertainment: a 7-inch display meant to bring together music, podcasts, FaceTime calls and control of compatible smart home accessories, available as a tabletop model or a wall-mounted version. These details come from Apple’s product announcement from October 13, 2026; this is not an independent review.
The centerpiece is Siri AI, which Apple says can recognize what’s on screen, hold more natural conversations and, paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad, draw on personal context from apps. Apple also says the device can recognize up to six people by face and show each of them a personalized view. These are the manufacturer’s own claims and cannot be independently verified before sale begins.
US price, launch date and colors
Apple’s US Newsroom confirms a price of $299 for both HomeView and the wall-mounted HomeView, available in silver, starlight, rose pink or space gray (silver and space gray for the wall-mounted model). That price does not include sales tax, which varies by state. Pre-orders opened October 13, 2026, with availability starting Friday, November 13. Optional wall mounts from Schneider Home start at $59.95.
The US is one of six confirmed day-one markets alongside Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and the UK, with Singapore and South Africa following on a slightly different schedule. Siri AI on HomeView ships in English in all of these markets, including the US, from day one.
Why the EU is excluded
Apple states plainly that HomeView “is not available for sale in the European Union, as Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS in the EU.” The company adds that it is “working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward,” without naming a date.
Apple’s own Apple Intelligence page confirms the restriction covers Siri AI on iOS, iPadOS and watchOS specifically in the EU. Apple’s HomeView announcement does not spell out which EU rule or negotiation sits behind the delay, so Net Trends treats any such explanation as interpretation rather than a fact Apple has itself confirmed.
What this means for US shoppers
US buyers can pre-order HomeView now, with delivery starting November 13, at the confirmed $299 price plus applicable state sales tax. Nothing in Apple’s announcement ties US availability to how the EU dispute is eventually resolved.
Shoppers who see HomeView listed for sale through unofficial EU channels should know that Apple has not set an EU price: any figure circulating outside the US, UK and the other confirmed launch markets is not an official Apple price.

Can I buy Apple HomeView in the US on November 13?
Yes. Apple’s own announcement lists the US as a day-one launch market, at $299 before tax for either model.
Why isn’t HomeView on sale in the EU?
Apple says Siri AI, the device’s central feature, is currently unavailable on iOS in the EU, and it has not announced an EU launch date.
