Apple is hosting a 'Welcome Home' event on 13 October, where it is rumoured to unveil 'HomeView', a screen placed around homes for interacting with Siri. Earlier smart-home efforts, including HomeKit (2014), the Home app (2016) and HomePod, failed to gain traction, with weak Siri and high prices blamed. Apple says its overhauled Siri AI launched last month, and the new home products, including an updated HomePod Mini and Apple TV, have reportedly been ready for some time while Apple waited for Siri. The article argues the push matters for Apple's AI strategy as rivals such as OpenAI and Meta build AI hardware. CEO John Ternus has framed the iPhone as the centre of an 'intelligent personal hub'.
