- Apple released the HomeView, a $299 smart home hub featuring a 7-inch Liquid Retina display and Siri AI integration for controlling compatible smart accessories.
- Unlike an iPad, HomeView recognizes up to six users via facial recognition and offers dedicated 'faces' for smart home tiles, running a proprietary operating system distinct from iPadOS.
