Apple confirms HomeView won’t launch in the European Union until Siri AI runs on iOS there, with a global release planned for November 13.
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.
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.
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.
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. For those waiting in other regions, keep an eye out for November 13 and the official store listings for precise country availability and local pricing.
When will HomeView be available in the EU?
Apple says it’s working with the EU and there’s no published timeline yet.
How much does HomeView cost in the US?
The US price is $299. Canada’s price was cited as C$429 in reporting. UK and other regions’ prices will be listed when available.
If you’re hoping to buy HomeView on Nov. 13, check local Apple Store listings closer to launch for country-specific availability and pricing. If you rely on Siri to manage smart-home routines, note that EU support will come only after regulatory and software updates are in place.
