Apple HomeView Smart Display Won't Launch in EU
Hardware Launch / Regulatory · Recorded impact score: 3/5
Apple's new smart home display, HomeView, will launch in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, and New Zealand, priced at $299 and with deliveries starting mid-November. However, it will not be sold in the EU due to a dispute with the European Commission over data access for AI competitors, specifically regarding the Digital Markets Act (DMA) interoperability requirements. Apple attributes the unavailability of its AI-enhanced Siri in the EU to the DMA, while the Commission argues nothing prevents Apple from launching there. The device, part of the Apple Home Collection, integrates with accessories from LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, which also won't initially launch in the EU. Features include recognizing up to six household members, personalization, music, timers, and video calling, with privacy emphasized via end-to-end encryption. Competitors like Google and Amazon offer similar devices.
