Smart home move from Apple: HomeView introduced

One of the notable features of HomeView is facial recognition technology.

According to Apple's statement, the device will be able to recognize up to six users living in the same household by their faces.

In this way, calendars, messages, reminders and other personal information specific to each user can be displayed on the screen.

The company states that security measures such as facial recognition and device matching will be used to protect personal data.

HomeView will be available in two different models that can be placed on a table and mounted on a wall.

The desktop model will have four color options: silver, starlight, pink and space grey.

NEW SIRI BENEFITS FROM GOOGLE'S ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGY

At the heart of HomeView is Apple's redeveloped Siri AI.

Working with the Apple Intelligence infrastructure, the new Siri, unlike previous versions, can have more natural conversations with users and carry out interconnected commands.

The new system can provide more comprehensive answers by using the personal information allowed by the user.

It is stated that Apple also benefits from Google's Gemini technology in its work in the field of artificial intelligence.

This collaboration is considered as part of Apple's efforts to increase its technological capacity at a time when competition in the field of productive artificial intelligence is intensifying.

In the smart home market, where it has been operating for a long time, Apple could not reach the market share it wanted against Amazon's Alexa-supported devices and Google's smart home products.

Although the HomePod speakers previously released by the company are among the important players in the competition in this field, Amazon and Google's products have managed to reach a wider user base.

With HomeView, Apple aims to include the technological systems in the homes of customers who use iPhone and other products into its ecosystem.

The company has also developed collaborations with South Korean LG and French Schneider Electric on smart door locks, thermostats and security systems.

WILL NOT BE SOLD IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

Apple's new device will not be available for sale in European Union countries at the first stage.

The company announced that efforts are continuing to harmonize the renewed Siri AI system with European regulations.

Apple stated that it is conducting constructive negotiations with the European Union and is looking for a solution to enable the product to enter the European market.

However, no timetable has been announced yet for when HomeView will go on sale in EU countries.

WHEN WILL IT COME TO Türkiye?

HomeView will be available starting November 13 in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India and some other countries.

The sales date and price of the device in Türkiye have not been announced yet.
