HomeView's Faces Include Snoopy, Photos, and Interactive Artwork
Apple's HomeView offers customizable faces for photos, animations, and smart home controls. Named faces include Photos, Flow, Snoopy, Calendar, Weather, Home Modular, and Home Camera, with others appearing in promotional images. Selected faces change throughout the day, adapting for mornings and evenings. The Photos face transforms HomeView into a digital picture frame, displaying single images or collections with Portrait-style depth effects. Shared albums enable remote contributions from friends and family. The Flow face provides an animated display that responds to physical presence and movement, while the Snoopy face features animations reflecting time, weather, events, and holidays. Smart home information is accessible through faces like Home Modular for accessories and Home Camera for livestreaming up to nine feeds. The HomeView's interface adjusts to user distance, providing simpler information from afar and more detail up close. Its 7-inch Liquid Retina display automatically adjusts brightness from 500 to 0.3 nits. Both tabletop and wall-mounted HomeView models launch on November 13 for $299 in the U.S.
