The new Apple TV 4K and updated Siri Remote unveiled today have quite a few new features, as outlined in our all-in-one summary below.
The new Apple HomeView comes preinstalled with a selection of Apple apps, such as Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, Apple News, Calendar, FaceTime, and Messages, but it will also support third-party audio and video apps.
MacRumors was first to reveal the name “HomeView” last week, after discovering a trademark filing from a secretive shell company that we correctly suspected was linked to Apple.
As was rumored prior to today’s announcements, the new Apple TV 4K can connect to up to four HomePods in front-left, front-right, rear-left, and rear-right positions, enabling an all-Apple surround sound system for home theater setups.
Siri AI support on the new HomePod mini 2 will be “available later” as part of a “future software update,” according to Apple. In other words, do not expect Siri AI to be available on the speaker when it launches on Friday, October 30.
The HomeView can dim its display to just 0.3 nits for use on a nightstand or in dark environments, making it Apple’s lowest-ever display brightness. The 7-inch Liquid Retina display automatically adjusts its brightness as lighting conditions change, reaching up to 500 nits in bright rooms.
Apple’s new fourth-generation Apple TV 4K includes three built-in far-field microphones, allowing users to find something to watch and control playback without picking up the Siri Remote.
Apple’s new HomeView supports Spatial Audio, with different speaker systems for its tabletop and wall-mounted models. The tabletop model features two custom full-range drivers in its display, with a down-firing woofer and two force-canceling passive radiators housed in the domed base.
Apple today shared four new videos on its YouTube channel highlighting the newly announced HomeView smart home hub, fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, and HomePod mini 2. The longest video, “Welcome Apple HomeView: Designed for life at home,” follows a family through a busy morning.
Apple’s new HomeView smart home hub comes in four colors, but the wall-mounted model offers only two finishes. The tabletop HomeView is available in silver, starlight, rose pink, and space gray. Each finish comes with a matching USB-C cable.
Apple today said that second- and third-generation Apple TV 4K models will gain Siri AI in beta with tvOS 27.2. Siri AI on the Apple TV adds conversational entertainment searches, follow-up questions, and personal context through a paired compatible device.
Apple’s HomeView can turn web recipes into step-by-step cooking instructions with hands-free timers. When viewing a recipe in Safari, users can tap the “Start Cooking” button to switch to a streamlined recipe layout.
The new Siri Remote unveiled today is compatible with all Apple TV HD and Apple TV 4K models released since 2015, according to Apple. The fourth-generation Siri Remote released today is available to order on Apple’s online store for November 13 delivery, with U.S. pricing set at $59.
Apple offers two versions of the HomeView, one that can be mounted on the wall and one that’s a standalone model with a speaker base. The wall-mounted version and the speaker version are both priced at $299, with no discount for the base-free model.
Apple uses a number of methods to keep HomeView users’ personal information private, even when a whole household shares the device. The device recognizes up to six people, giving each their own Home Screen with personalized apps and widgets.
