Apple Releases Updated HomeView Software 27.2 Before Launch‎

With the HomeView set to start arriving to some users in just a matter of hours, Apple has released a new HomeView Software 27.2 update. The software has a build number of 24V526, and it is the second 27.2 update Apple has released for the device. Customers receiving the HomeView this week will need to install a software update during the setup process. The HomeView ships with HomeView Software 26.5, which is approximately six months old. Apple planned to release the HomeView earlier than November 2026 but held back because it wanted to debut Siri AI in iOS 27 first. Apple today said it plans to release a HomeView software update to fix a ‌Siri‌ AI issue that prevents ‌Siri‌ from controlling smart home products like locks, but that update isn't coming until next month. It's likely the ‌Siri‌ AI issue will be addressed in HomeView 27.3. Update: Apple's security support document says the software update addresses several vulnerabilities, including issues with AirPlay, Messages, and Bluetooth.Related Roundup: Apple HomeViewBuyer's Guide: HomeView (Buy Now)Related Forum: HomePod, HomeView, CarPlay – Home & Auto TechThis article, "Apple Releases Updated HomeView Software 27.2 Before Launch" first appeared on MacRumors.comDiscuss this article in our forums
