Apple is expected to unveil HomeView smart home hub on Tuesday
Apple is expected to unveil a new smart home hub called HomeView on Tuesday.
The device is described as having a display and Siri, and would let people control other smart home products.
It is reportedly planned in two versions: one for a countertop and one for a wall.
The launch would mark a major push into smart home products for Apple, whose HomeKit software and HomePod speaker have had limited success.
Apple is also expected to unveil updated versions of its Apple TV set-top box and HomePod mini.
The company is also reported to be planning a partnership with LG to make a smart lock, thermostat and doorbell.
