A $1,000 HomeView That Turns to Watch You? A $25 Tripod Already Does That
Apple's rumored HomeView Ultra puts a 9-inch screen on a swiveling arm for about $1,000. Amazon does it for $249.99, and a camera that follows you is a spy.

HomeView ships Nov 13 for $299 with Siri AI in beta, English only, 8 countries. Full features need an iPhone 15 Pro, then come limits and iCloud+.
Gurman says Apple is building a 9-inch HomeView on a 360-degree robotic arm for 2027 or 2028. In my opinion, it is still just a second screen for the iPhone.
Apple HomeView costs $299, has no App Store, plays video only from your iPhone, and needs a paired iPhone for Siri AI. I waited for a real smart home hub and got a big watch with a speaker.
Apple's Welcome Home event on October 13 should bring the HomePad, a new HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K. I have four HomePod minis at home and I want the hub. But after testing Siri AI, I am worried, and the price may be the real "wow".
