Apple HomeView is Apple's first tabletop smart-home display, announced 2026-10-13 and now on pre-order, shipping 2026-11-13 in the U.S. and other launch countries (not yet released). A 7-inch Liquid Retina display (True Tone, 0.3–500 nits) sits on a domed speaker base via a tilting stainless-steel hinge; it has an A18 chip, a 12MP Center Stage camera for FaceTime, and Siri AI built in, with face recognition for up to six users and personal content for each. Audio comes from two full-range drivers, a down-firing woofer and two passive radiators, with Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos) and AirPlay multiroom. Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 6.0 and Thread let it work as a home hub, and it listens for smoke/CO alarms. 952g; Silver, Starlight, Rose Pink, Space Gray. US$299; not sold in Taiwan or the EU at launch.

MKBHD: Apple HomeView (Desk Mount) Review — Tinny Audio, Sluggish Siri, Astronomical $499 Tag

Key Takeaways
- Built-in hemispherical base speaker is a massive letdown; tiny transducers lack bass punch and distort into harsh clipping past 70% volume.
- Display tilt angle is completely non-adjustable; placing it on high countertops creates terrible glare and clips chins in FaceTime calls.
- Far-field microphone array struggles badly against kitchen exhaust hoods or loud TV background noise, forcing users to shout repeatedly to wake Siri.
- Hefty $499 price tag delivers essentially a lobotomized, locked-down iPad mini glued to a pod, strictly caged inside homeOS without free app installs.
✅ Pros
- Exquisite aluminum and fabric aesthetic blends seamlessly into modern designer kitchens
- Crisp 8-inch high-density Retina touchscreen delivers vibrant, punchy colors
- Seamless HomeKit smart hub controls combined with effortless FaceTime calls
❌ Cons
- Anemic base speaker sounds tinny and distorts heavily at volume
- Fixed display angle causes bad glare and poor webcam framing
- Far-field mics fail to hear wake words in lively room racket
- Caged homeOS walled garden prevents custom app installation at $499
📝 Verdict
"Gorgeously crafted smart display betrayed by tinny audio, a rigid unadjustable viewing angle, and a preposterous $499 toll."

MKBHD：半球底座揚聲器單薄乾癟，Siri 依然耳背遲鈍且天價 499 美元
來源
Marques Brownlee (MKBHD)
重點摘要
- 整合在半球形底座內部的揚聲器音質表現令人大失所望，單元尺寸過小導致低音單薄乾癟，音量開到 70% 以上高頻嚴重破音失真，遠遠落後於同價位的 HomePod mini 立體聲對。
- 螢幕傾角無法手動俯仰調節，固定角度放置在廚房中島或較高的床頭櫃時，視野反光嚴重且視訊通話時視角容易切掉用戶下巴。
- Siri 在吵雜廚房抽油煙機運轉或背景播放音樂時，遠場麥克風拾音率極度糟糕，必須扯開嗓門大吼兩三遍才能喚醒。
- 售價高達 499 美元，但本質上只是一塊固定在喇叭底座上的閹割版 iPad mini，功能受限於 tvOS/homeOS 系統且無法自由安裝任意 App。
✅ 優點
- 外觀精緻金屬與編織底座完美融合家居裝潢
- 8 吋超高清視網膜觸控螢幕色彩還原極致鮮豔
- 支援 FaceTime 視訊與空間音訊家庭控制樞紐整合完美
❌ 缺點
- 底座揚聲器音質乾癟單薄大音量易破音
- 螢幕俯仰角度固定無法調節視覺易反光
- 嘈雜環境遠場收音弱需大聲吼叫喚醒
- 封閉系統無法自由安裝 App 且定價偏高
📝 總結評語
「外型美如北歐精品家具，但單薄破音的喇叭、無法調整的固定螢幕與高昂身價，讓它性價比慘不忍睹。」
