   Apple HomeView available today

   Apple announced that HomeView, a device that recognizes up to six people by face and shows their personal content in Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders, and Find My, is available to order today in Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, Singapore, the UK, and the U.S. for $299 (U.S.), with a wall-mounted version also at $299. It runs Siri AI, which offers onscreen awareness and, when paired with an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad, personal context and cross-app actions; Siri AI is available in beta in HomeView software version 27.2. HomeView is not for sale in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable in iOS in the EU, and Schneider Home mounts start at $59.95 (U.S.).

   I reviewed the Apple HomeView, ask me anything

   The Verge senior smart home reviewer Jen Tuohy says she has spent the past week testing Apple's first smart display, the $299 HomeView, in both tabletop and wall-mounted versions around her home, including as an entryway smart home control panel. She says she cooked with it, ran her smart home from it, took calls on it, and tested its new Siri AI capabilities, and that her tech-averse husband was a big fan while her teenage daughter was less so. Verge subscribers can submit questions in the comments, with answers starting at 2PM ET / 11AM PT.
