What happened
Apple plans to release a higher-end version of its HomeView smart home hub, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, as reported by MacRumors [1]. A smart home hub is a device that sits in a home and works as a central control point for other connected devices.
The planned model would have a larger 9-inch screen that can swivel a full 360 degrees on a robotic arm, meaning a motorised arm that moves the display [1]. The current tabletop HomeView has a fixed 7-inch screen [1].
Gurman expects the device to launch in 2027 or 2028 [1]. He floated the names HomeView Max, HomeView Ultra or HomeView 360, but MacRumors says these are speculative names for now [1].
9to5Mac reports that Apple has announced its HomeView smart home display, which is available for $299, and that the next HomeView could debut as soon as next year with a robotic arm [2]. The robotic-arm model is described in reports, and the sources do not show an official Apple announcement of its details [1][2].
