Apple’s HomeView launches Friday, November 13, with a $299 price tag and pre‑orders available. Leaks from HomeView 27.2 software show Apple is preparing to add security camera functionality, integrating with HomeKit Secure Video. The work appears largely complete, though Apple has not yet announced the feature and it may remain disabled. A separate find in iOS 27.3 beta reveals support for third‑party AI apps is coming to HomeView. While the device has no App Store, it can run CarPlay‑compatible apps from an iPhone; the new beta adds “conversational apps” such as ChatGPT and Claude. These updates suggest Apple plans ambitious software enhancements for the new product.
