Apple just introduced Apple HomeView on October 13, 2026, and even though it's sold as a smart home device, the first thing that caught our eye was the design. A domed aluminum body connects to a 7-inch Liquid Retina display via a stainless steel hinge that tilts smoothly — comfortable viewing whatever height table it sits on.

Four colors to match your room

The tabletop HomeView comes in four shades: silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray. Each one ships with a perfectly matching charging cable, not a generic white one that clashes with the rest. The wall-mounted version comes in two colors, space gray and silver, attaching via one of three Schneider Home mounting options, either self-installed or professionally fitted.

The Liquid Retina display supports True Tone, adjusting color temperature to ambient light in real time. Brightness ranges from 500 nits, bright enough to stay legible by a sunny window, down to 0.3 nits, gentle enough for a nightstand at night. The screen is also smart about distance, showing simpler information from across the room and more detail as you step closer.

A screen you can restyle, not one fixed look

What makes HomeView feel more like home décor than a tech gadget is its Faces system. Choose a Photos face with a soft portrait-blur effect, turn it into a digital photo frame the whole household can add to, or keep it simple with a minimal clock face. Everyone in the house can pick their own look to match their own taste, rather than one screen for the whole family.

Apple recommends placing it on a kitchen counter, a nightstand, or a side table — compact enough not to take over the space, but with a screen large enough to read from across the room. Video calling the family over FaceTime looks sharp too, since the camera keeps everyone framed automatically.
