Apple HomeView hub preview shifts to A18 and 8GB RAM
The preview centers on a 6-inch square display, then names an A18 chip, 8GB of RAM, and a possible price near $350 for the HomeView hub.
| HomeView | Apple TV 4K | HomePod mini 2 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| chip | A18 | A19 | |
| memory | 8GB of RAM | 8GB of RAM | |
| display | 6-inch touch display | ||
| power | USB-C | ||
| networking | N1 networking chip, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, Thread | ||
| price | around $350 |
The 8GB figure is attached to the hub in the preview, but it does not settle whether Siri AI runs at the same latency as an iPhone.
The A18 is not identified as a full-speed part or a trimmed variant.
The hub is treated as a fixed appliance, with no battery, USB-C power, and a presence sensor that feeds HomeKit scenes.
The Face ID-style presence sensor and authentication gate tie the device to Apple's identity stack.
For fab planning, the fixed power, camera, and sensor path matter more than the chip.
The $350 figure remains a rumor, and no launch window is named.
No confirmed price or ship date appears in the document.
After @rsgnl. We did not report this. The pictures, if any, are theirs.
