Apple is planning a higher-end HomeView smart home hub featuring a 9-inch display mounted on a robotic arm, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. The screen would be able to rotate through 360 degrees.

Gurman expects a launch in 2027 or 2028. The planned model would have a larger, movable display, unlike the fixed 7-inch screen on the current tabletop HomeView.

The device’s name remains speculative. Gurman suggested HomeView Max, HomeView Ultra and HomeView 360 as possible names, rather than identifying any of them as the product’s confirmed branding.
