Didn't pre-order Apple HomeView? Here's how long the wait is now
Apple's all-new smart home hub HomeView opened for pre-order on Tuesday, with the first orders shipping on November 13; users who haven't pre-ordered will have to wait until early December for some colorways. Delivery times vary by ZIP code across the U.S.: the silver desktop version is November 23 to December 1 in New York, and November 30 to December 7 elsewhere. The wall-mounted HomeView has no delays for now, and all five colorways of the HomePod mini 2 can still arrive on the October 30 launch day.

Didn't Pre-Order Apple's HomeView? Here's How Long the Wait is NowFriday October 16, 2026 1:05 pm PDT by Joe Rossignol
Apple's all-new HomeView smart home hub has been available for pre-order since Tuesday, with the earliest orders set to be delivered on Friday, November 13. If you did not place a pre-order yet though, you may face a longer wait now, with Apple's estimated delivery dates pushing into early December for select colors of the tabletop HomeView.
Estimated delivery dates in the U.S. vary by ZIP code right now. For example, the tabletop HomeView in silver has a November 23-December 1 delivery range in New York, but a later November 30-December 7 range in some other locations.
The tabletop HomeView is still available for Friday, November 13 launch day delivery in some colors and locations in the U.S., and the wall-mounted HomeView is not facing any delays at all as of the time this article was published.
Apple TV 4K delivery estimates are nearly identical: November 23-December 1 in some parts of the U.S., and November 30-December 7 in others.
If you have yet to pre-order a HomePod mini 2, do not worry, as the speaker is still widely available for delivery on its Friday, October 30 launch day throughout the U.S. in all five color options. Keep in mind that Siri AI will not be available on the HomePod mini 2 until support arrives in a future software update, according to Apple.
