Apple’s Wall-Mounted HomeView Requires at Least $59 Extra

What changed

Apple’s HomeView smart-home display comes in two $299 versions: one with a speaker base and one labelled “Wall Mounted.” But the wall-mounted model does not include the hardware needed to attach it to a wall. Buyers must pay at least $59 extra for the mount.

Why it matters

The price difference changes the practical comparison. The wall-mounted HomeView is not really a ready-to-install $299 product; its minimum reported cost is $358 before any other considerations.

That makes the cheaper-looking option less straightforward for anyone planning a fixed installation. Apple has separated the display from the part that makes its defining feature usable. The report does not say whether multiple mount options exist or whether installation is included, so the final cost may depend on those details.
