Apple has unveiled the 7-inch HomeView smart display, scheduled to go on sale on November 13, directly entering the living-room market where Amazon already has an established presence.
The question now being debated is whether Amazon can hold on to the point of entry where users make their requests—not simply how many devices it sells. Meanwhile, some have claimed that Amazon is keeping Meta’s AI shopping agent off its platform. That remains a claim in a single discussion, is yet to be verified, and should not be treated as an announced platform policy.
The living room and shopping may seem like two separate fronts, but both are about who will respond to the user’s next request. However, Apple’s Siri AI initially supports English only, and the product will not be sold in the EU for now. Unveiling a display does not necessarily mean winning control of the home.
