Report: Apple ‘HomeView’ smart home hub will ship in November, come in four colors, A18 chip
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman today reported that the Apple home hub – set to be announced on October 13 as part of Apple’s ‘Welcome home’ event experience — will be called the HomeView. The brand would obviously sit alongside the company’s existing HomePod brand for smart speakers.
What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on Bloomberg’s report that Apple’s smart home hub will be called HomeView and ship in November. Bloomberg Technology adds a broader package of “fresh details” on HomeView alongside the HomePod mini and new Apple TV, including release dates, colors, chips and features. 9to5Mac is the most specific, mentioning four colors and an A18 chip, while Engadget’s extract only repeats the November shipping timing.
