Apple's HomeView, slated for release on November 13, will ship with a range of native apps, while a few will require an iPhone connection.
Apple announced that its new HomeView device, available for pre-order and scheduled to ship on November 13, will come with a selection of preinstalled Apple apps. The device features a classic Home Screen grid and supports voice interaction through Siri AI.
At launch, the following Apple apps will be available: Alarms, Audiobooks, Calendar, Classical Music, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Intercom, Messages, Music, News, Podcasts, Reminders, Safari, Settings, Timers, TV, Weather, and World Clock. According to Apple, Audiobooks, Classical Music, News and TV will rely on a connection to an iPhone on the same Wi-Fi network.
Third-party applications that already have CarPlay versions and are classified as audio or video apps are expected to be supported, with Spotify cited as an example of a likely day-one offering.
Apple has not confirmed whether additional apps, such as a dedicated Photos app, will be added after launch.
