I live on the shores of Lake Ontario in Western New York, an area that’s recently been heavily affected by smoke from the Canadian wildfires. Given that, I thought it was an ideal time to test a premium air purifier to see how effective it is at handling heavy particle loads over time.

The new product lineup signals a move in a new direction By Mark Huffman Consumer News: Apple makes a major push into the smart home market with new devices powered by AI of ConsumerAffairs October 14, 2026
Apple unveiled HomeView, a new $299 smart home hub that uses artificial intelligence to control household devices, manage schedules and personalize information for family members.

The company also introduced a $149 HomePod mini 2 and a $299 Apple TV 4K, both designed to make greater use of Apple's upgraded Siri AI assistant.

A new lineup of smart locks, security cameras, doorbells and thermostats will give Apple a stronger position in the growing smart home market, challenging products from Amazon and Google.

Apple is making its most ambitious move yet into the connected home market, introducing a series of products designed to make artificial intelligence a central part of everyday household activities.

At its October 13 "Welcome Home" event in New York City, the company unveiled a new smart home display, an upgraded smart speaker, a more powerful streaming television device and a collection of home security and automation products.

The announcements represent a significant expansion beyond Apple's traditional emphasis on smartphones, computers and wearable devices. They also put the company into more direct competition with Amazon's Alexa and Ring products and Google's Nest ecosystem.
Smart home display
The centerpiece of the announcements is HomeView, Apple's first dedicated smart home display.

The device features a seven-inch screen and comes in two versions: a tabletop model that incorporates a speaker and a wall-mounted version designed to serve as a central control panel.

Both versions cost $299 and are now available.

HomeView allows household members to control connected lights, thermostats, locks and security cameras. It also supports FaceTime video calls, music, entertainment and household calendars.

One of its more distinctive features is facial recognition. Apple says the device can recognize as many as six household members and automatically display personalized information for each person.

With Apple's upgraded Siri AI assistant, users can make conversational requests and, when the device is paired with a compatible iPhone or iPad, access personal information from applications such as Messages, Calendar and Reminders.

For example, a family member could ask about an upcoming appointment or check who is at the front door without picking up a smartphone.
