Seeking to anchor its presence in the modern household, Apple has introduced three major smart home hardware additions: the HomeView family smart display, the HomePod mini 2, and a refreshed Apple TV 4K. Designed to coordinate across kitchens, bedrooms, and living rooms, the lineup is unified by Siri AI, an upgraded assistant offering conversational engagement and personalized context when paired with compatible iPhones or iPads. Indian pricing for these new offerings spans from Rs 18,900 to Rs 39,900.
Serving as the flagship device of the release, the Apple HomeView acts as a consolidated smart control panel, entertainment hub, and communication tool priced at Rs 39,900. It features a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and incorporates facial recognition to identify up to six different household members, presenting personalized home screens, apps, and private notifications only when the recognized user is nearby with an unlocked device. The unit supports FaceTime calls, music playback, recipe instructions, and simultaneous live feeds from up to nine security cameras. Housing dual full-range drivers, a down-firing woofer, and passive radiators, HomeView is offered in silver, starlight, rose pink, and space grey, with pre-orders having commenced on October 13 ahead of a November 13 retail launch.
The compact HomePod mini 2 is powered by Apple's S10 chip and engineered to deliver 360-degree audio through standalone, stereo, or multi-room configurations. It introduces Sound Glow, an illuminated top surface that reacts dynamically to music rhythms and ambient soundscapes. The speaker supports voice recognition for up to six household users, manages smart home automation, and listens for environmental hazards like smoke alarms. While Siri AI will arrive via a later software update, the speaker is priced at Rs 18,900 in shades of pink, green, blue, white, and midnight, with deliveries starting October 30.
Rounding out the portfolio, the new Apple TV 4K utilizes an A19 chip that yields significantly faster CPU and GPU performance alongside an efficient AV1 hardware decoder. Three integrated far-field microphones allow hands-free voice control, while Siri AI brings a full-screen interface capable of handling complex follow-up queries regarding media content. The redesigned Siri Remote now features Precision Finding capabilities via the Find My network. Retailing at Rs 39,900 with a beta version of Siri AI forthcoming, the new Apple TV 4K opened for pre-orders on October 13 alongside HomeView, targeting a November 13 release.
