Apple HomeView price in India is ₹39,900: pre-orders open, delivery from 13 November

Apple's first smart display, HomeView, costs ₹39,900 in India for both the tabletop and wall-mounted models. Pre-orders opened on 13 October and it reaches buyers on 13 November. Here's what you get, what the wall version really costs, and the new Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2 prices.

TL;DRThe short version

  • Price: Apple HomeView costs ₹39,900 in India, and the wall-mounted model costs the same. Pre-orders opened on 13 October 2026 on apple.com/in/store and the Apple Store app; both models are available from Friday, 13 November (Apple Newsroom India).
  • What it is: a 7-inch smart display with an A18 chip and Siri AI, Apple's rebuilt assistant, which works in English in India at launch. It recognises each family member by face and shows them their own Messages, Calendar and Reminders.
  • The catch: the wall model needs a Schneider Home mount sold separately, from ₹6,900. Setup needs a compatible iPhone or iPad on the latest software, and Apple's new Home Collection cameras and lock have no India launch.
  • Pre-order HomeView, or check delivery dates for your PIN code, on Apple's India store: apple.com/in/storeDelivery estimates depend on colour and PIN code; Apple says both models are available from 13 November.

India is in the first group of countries to get it, along with the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (Apple Newsroom India).

What Apple announced on 13 October

Apple announced four things for the home on Tuesday: HomeView, its first smart display; a new Apple TV 4K (4th generation); HomePod mini 2; and Apple Home Collection, a line of cameras, thermostats and a lock made with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. The first three have India prices. The Home Collection doesn't.

Apple HomeView: what you get for ₹39,900

According to Apple's press release:

  • Screen and chip: a 7-inch Liquid Retina display on a domed speaker base, joined by a stainless-steel hinge that tilts, powered by the A18 chip.
  • Personal for each user: HomeView recognises people by their faces and switches to their own Messages, FaceTime, Calendar, Reminders and Find My.
  • Siri AI: Apple's new, more conversational Siri. In India it works in English. Apple's footnotes say Siri AI is in beta in HomeView software 27.2.
  • Smart home dashboard: control lights, thermostats, locks and blinds by touch or voice, and view up to nine camera feeds at once. It works with Works with Apple Home and Matter accessories.
  • Calls and alerts: FaceTime with Center Stage, plus alerts on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch if it hears a smoke or carbon monoxide alarm.
  • Privacy: camera and microphone data is processed in protected, separate parts of the chip that Apple calls Secure Exclaves.

You'll need an iPhone or iPad. Apple says setup and multi-user support require a compatible iPhone or iPad on the latest software.

What the wall-mounted HomeView really costs

The wall model has the same ₹39,900 price, but it only comes in space gray and silver, and it needs one of three Schneider Home mounts, sold separately:

Wall setup Mount price HomeView + mount
Power Mount USB-C Wall Connector from ₹6,900 from ₹46,800
Power Mount AC Wired from ₹8,900 from ₹48,800
Power Mount PoE Wired (early 2027) ₹14,900 ₹54,800

The totals are our own sums of Apple's India prices. The Times of India adds that the USB-C mount needs a 20W adapter, which is sold separately.

Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini 2 prices in India

Product India price Available from Siri AI

Apple says Siri AI also reaches older Apple TV 4K models (2nd generation or later) as a beta.

01

Myth The wall-mounted HomeView costs more than the tabletop one.

Fact Both are ₹39,900. But the wall model needs a mount bought separately, from ₹6,900, so it ends up costing more.

02

Myth Apple's new Home Collection cameras and smart lock are coming to India with HomeView.

Fact Apple says the Home Collection starts in December in the US, Canada and the UK. It has given no India price or date.

03

Myth HomePod mini 2 gets Siri AI on day one.

Fact Apple says Siri AI comes to HomePod mini 2 in a future software update. HomeView and Apple TV 4K have it at launch, in English.

Should you pre-order?

HomeView makes the most sense if your household already uses iPhones and Apple Home. If you mostly want a kitchen screen for timers, recipes and video calls, keep in mind that the Apple Home Collection accessories it's built to show off aren't coming to India yet. Your existing smart plugs and bulbs need to support Apple Home or Matter to appear on it. Delivery starts on 13 November, so there's time to check reviews before your order ships.
