Apple says HomeView won’t launch in the EU because Siri AI isn’t available on iOS there, with no timeline for when that will change. The device goes on sale November 13 in eight countries worldwide for $299 in the US, and Canada is part of the rollout with local pricing around C$429. In the meantime, Apple is working with EU regulators on a path forward. If you’re outside the EU, expect to see more details about availability and pricing as launch approaches.

New details from the fresh reports show HomeView’s identity check relies on a compatible iPhone or iPad nearby, not Face ID itself. In practice, the display can recognize up to six household members by using the paired iPhone/iPad as a second factor, and it can stream up to nine video feeds at once. Canada’s launch price is confirmed at C$429, and English Siri AI will be supported at launch there (French later). These specifics weren’t in the earlier piece, which focused on the EU timing and US pricing. Apple also notes Siri AI won’t be available in the EU at first, tying to regulator status.

Update · Oct 13, 1:35 PM ET

New details specify the eight markets Apple will ship HomeView to: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, India, Singapore and South Africa, with EU exclusion tied to Siri AI not being available on iOS in the region. The reports also reiterate pre-orders start on Oct. 13 and shipping begins Nov. 13, while confirming regulators in Europe remain unresolved and no timeline for Siri in the EU. In short, the EU block is maintained due to interoperability and regulatory issues, even as Apple presses ahead with the global rollout in the other eight countries.

Update · Oct 13, 11:05 AM ET

New details confirm preorder starts today, Oct. 13, for Apple’s HomeView at $299, with both tabletop and wall-mounted editions available in multiple colors (silver, starlight, rose pink, space gray) and shipping set for Nov. 13. The wall-mounted model is offered in silver and space gray.

Apple has confirmed that its new HomeView smart home display won’t be available in the European Union when it launches later this year. The company says Siri AI isn’t currently available on iOS in the EU, and it’s working with regulators to find a path forward, but there’s no timeline for when it might arrive there.

Meanwhile, Apple’s broader plan is moving ahead. HomeView will go on sale on November 13 in eight countries around the world, with a US price of $299. Canada will be part of the global release, and the device is expected to reach the market there at similar timing, though local pricing has appeared as C$429 in Canadian coverage.

What HomeView is and what it does

HomeView is a smart home speaker with a 7-inch display. It works with Apple’s ecosystem, letting you access Apple Music, Messages, FaceTime, and other apps, and it can display recipes, timelines, reminders, and more on its screen. The wall-mounted version is available in two colors and uses a slightly different speaker setup to fit into kitchen or living spaces.

Which regions get it first

Apple says HomeView will be released on November 13 in eight countries around the world. Apple did not enumerate the countries in its message, and for now there’s no EU availability timeline. Apple notes it’s compatible with iOS 27.2, which may require an OS update for some users.

What this means for everyday users

If you’re in the United States, you can expect to buy HomeView for $299 and start using it with your Apple account right away on launch day. In Canada, expect local pricing to apply, with Canadian coverage citing C$429. For UK and other regions, availability depends on the EU and regulatory timelines. If you rely on Siri AI for smart-home routines, you’ll likely need to wait for a regional update before you can use HomeView to its full potential in those markets.

Apple is actively engaging with European authorities to address the Siri AI limitation. Until then, EU customers won’t see HomeView on the shelves.
