iOS 27.3 beta code suggests HomeView may support AI chatbot apps
Code investigator pdfu found in the iOS 27.3 beta that the HomeView software used to display iPhone/iPad apps has added a "Conversational Apps" category, along with preparations for bidirectional audio routing, session management, and interruption handling, but it is not yet fully connected, and Apple has not announced support for chatbots such as ChatGPT and Claude. HomeView also has built-in anti-deception protection: after three deception attempts on the same profile, iPhone authentication is required to view personal data, and this feature is already enabled in the HomeView 27.2 software. HomeView will go on sale on November 13, priced at $299, in desktop and wall-mounted versions.
