Apple HomeView is now official — and it’s priced at Rs 39,900 in India for both the tabletop and wall-mounted models. Pre-orders opened Sunday, October 13, via Apple’s website and Apple Store app. The device ships November 13 in India and other initial markets. Wall-mounting accessories start at Rs 6,900 and are sold separately. No US or UK pricing appears in the reporting, only the Indian figure is confirmed. This is not a hub-only device. It’s a 7-inch touchscreen display with speaker, FaceTime camera, Apple Music, Apple TV, smart home controls and on-device Siri AI powered by Apple Intelligence. It runs on the A18 chip. Same as the iPhone 16 Pro, not a new silicon platform. That matters: it signals Apple is treating HomeView as a full-fledged iOS-class device, not a stripped-down accessory. Two form factors. Tabletop version comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space grey. Wall-mounted model is limited to silver and space grey. Both support up to six user profiles with face recognition, personalised home screens and on-screen awareness. Meaning Siri can see what’s displayed and respond contextually. It handles Matter-compatible lights, locks, thermostats and blinds. With compatible cameras and an iCloud+ subscription, it delivers person, pet, package and vehicle alerts, and shows up to nine live feeds simultaneously in its Home Camera interface. Privacy claims match Apple’s current stack: on-device processing, Private Cloud Compute, and personal content gated behind user recognition plus device-level security checks. No mention of cellular, no mention of standalone functionality beyond what’s tied to an Apple Intelligence-enabled iPhone or iPad. Siri’s personal-context features. Pulling from Messages, Calendar, require that pairing. The launch event was called “Welcome Home”. The name HomeView appears nowhere in Apple’s public marketing materials outside this Smartprix report. So for now, it’s the working product name. No review quotes, no hands-on impressions, no battery life estimates, no third-party compatibility lists beyond Matter and iCloud+. Just the facts: Rs 39,900. Pre-orders live. Shipping November 13.
