Apple Launches Two Products Today

Apple is releasing two new products today, Friday, November 13: the all-new Apple HomeView and the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K, both of which have been available to pre-order since mid-October.

  • Apple HomeView: Apple's new smart home display, powered by Apple Intelligence with Siri AI, for entertainment and managing the home. Available in tabletop and wall-mounted models, it can recognize up to six users by face, each with a personalized Home Screen. The HomeView is priced at $299.
  • Apple TV 4K: adds Siri AI, the A19 chip, an updated Siri Remote with Find My, and support for four-speaker surround sound with HomePod mini 2. The Apple TV 4K comes with 128GB of storage and is priced at $299.

Both products were announced on October 13 alongside the HomePod mini 2, which launched October 30.

As things stand, HomeView is not sold in the European Union because Siri AI is currently unavailable on iOS in the region due to regulatory constraints. Apple has said it is "working constructively with the EU in an attempt to find a path forward," but has provided no timeline for EU availability.

Poor EU citizens. Clueless politicians stifling progress and innovation to their own citizens so they can say they are doing something important and special. What a mess over there.
Dude ****. HomeView is only available in 8 ****ing countries, this has nothing to do with the EU but all with Apple rushing products without having the software ready.

$299.00 for an Apple TV? My last Apple TV 4K I got 2 years ago was $129.00. What the heck did they start making them with? That’s a 132% increase…

They are doing well and I’m very happy there is someone standing for consumers in EU.

Apple has lost the plot, Siri AI is useless for now (cant find it useful on Mac, where it’s available), not even mention of lack of polish language.

Also I don’t understand why liberals say they want the freedom but have such a problem when consumer is given a choice.

Free market should be about competition, not about restricting it, isn’t it? If Apple is so convinced their products are the best, then consumers will still use it even if there is a choice, right?

Am I crazy or is $300 for an Apple TV a bit too much. I don't even see that many new features that are worth spending my money on since I already have a 2nd gen Apple TV. I even read that my Apple TV was getting Siri Ai (which was my main draw to the new one) so it's a no on upgrading for me.
