Apple’s new smart home product has a name: HomeView. Both the name and the timing of the announcement come from Bloomberg’s Gurman: Apple will announce it on Tuesday, though the company hasn’t confirmed it officially.
It’s described as a home hub with a screen that uses Siri and can control other smart home devices. It will come in countertop and wall-mounted versions. More interesting is the gap it aims to fill: HomeKit and HomePod haven’t gained much traction, and Apple now wants to claim that space with an always-on screen.
