Buying Apple’s wall-mounted HomeView? The mount costs extra
Apple offers its HomeView smart display for $299 in two versions: one with a speaker base and another designed for wall installation. Buyers choosing the wall version must purchase a compatible mount separately.
The least expensive option, a USB-C wall connector from Schneider Home, starts at $59.95. An AC-wired mount costs $79.95, while a PoE model priced at $129.95 is expected in early 2027.
Apple’s store lets shoppers proceed without selecting a mount, but warns that the wall model needs a mount and power solution to work. It does not include its own power source.
The wall version cannot be used as a tabletop display or converted into the speaker-base model. It also comes in only two colors, unlike a separate desktop version.
As a result, wall-mount buyers will pay more than the advertised $299 price. The article says third-party makers may eventually offer less expensive mounts, but gives no timing or confirmed products.
Key points
- The wall-mounted HomeView starts at $299, but its required mount costs extra.
- Schneider Home’s available mounts start at $59.95; a PoE option is planned for early 2027.
- The wall and speaker-base models are separate products, and the wall version cannot operate without a mount and power solution.
