Apple HomeView review

Apple HomeView is the pick for homes built around iPhones. Apple sells it for $299 in four colors, with a wall-mounted version. The 7-inch Liquid Retina display uses True Tone and ranges from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits for a bedside table, and the 12MP Center Stage camera keeps people framed on FaceTime calls. Its strongest feature is multiuser support: HomeView recognizes up to six people by face and voice, with an A18 chip handling recognition in Secure Exclaves, and each person sees their own content from a paired iPhone or iPad. For smart homes it runs the Home app, streams up to nine camera feeds on the Home Camera face and can alert your devices when it hears a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm. The limits are clear: it needs an iPhone on iOS 27.2 or later or a compatible iPad, and the screen is smaller than Amazon's mid-size displays. We compared documented features and prices only.
