- Apple says HomeView's facial recognition works only if users have a "registered personal device" running Apple Intelligence and Siri AI on the same Wi-Fi network
- HomeView will not be available in the EU because Siri AI is currently unavailable on iOS there, with Apple stating it is "working constructively with the EU"
Why it matters: The Apple Intelligence hardware requirement gates HomeView's headline facial-recognition feature behind newer hardware ownership, and EU customers are blocked entirely until Apple ships Siri AI on iOS in the region.
