Apple plans to release a higher-end version of its new HomeView smart home hub with a larger 9-inch screen that can swivel a full 360 degrees on a robotic arm, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. He expects the device to launch in 2027 or 2028.
Gurman floated the names HomeView Max, HomeView Ultra, or HomeView 360 for the device, but these are just speculative names for now. The current tabletop version of the HomeView has a fixed 7-inch screen.
Mark German has a 50-50 track record at best, but he kind of was right with this one. I think what he was referring to is the LG camera that you can buy that won’t record when people are in the house, like the camera is on a motor that will tilt it downward, so it doesn’t broadcast or record when it detects people inside the home, which I think is kind of stupid, to be honest with you, but that kind of fits what he was describing
Speaking of Gurman, what happened to that rumor of Apple apparently launching a home camera that was going to be “the first security camera that’s not a camera”? Wasn’t that supposed to be announced along with the HomeView?
