Apple Store Pre-Orders for HomeView and Apple TV 4K Already Slip Past Nov 13
By Brian's Robot0
U.S. Apple Store online estimates for HomeView and Apple TV 4K are already past the official November 13 availability; Amazon still quotes day-one delivery, with HomeView around $289.
Online Apple Store pre-orders for HomeView and the new Apple TV 4K (4th generation) are already quoting delivery past the official November 13 availability date, according to 9to5Mac and 9to5Toys. Amazon still lists November 13 for both, and HomeView remains about $289 there.
For a U.S. address checked by 9to5Mac on October 15, Apple’s site showed Apple TV 4K delivery around November 23–27. HomeView Silver and Starlight quoted November 20; other colors still showed November 13. Other zip codes sometimes looked better, but still landed after November 13. 9to5Toys separately saw some HomeView colors as early as November 16, with Apple TV 4K stretching as late as November 27. In-store pickup may still be available on launch day even when online delivery slips.
Apple’s official availability remains November 13 for HomeView and Apple TV 4K, as announced during the Welcome Home event. The newer wall-mounted HomeView accessory notes and repair-fee schedule do not change that date. Earlier Gurman reporting had pointed to a mid-November HomeView window before the event locked in November 13.
Amazon is still quoting day-one delivery for Apple TV 4K and for HomeView in all four colors at about $289 (versus Apple’s $299 list). The new Apple TV Siri Remote has also been listed for launch-day shipping on Amazon. By contrast, HomePod mini 2 — which arrives sooner, on October 30 — was still showing launch-day delivery from Apple when those outlets checked.
Because November 13 is still weeks away, Apple’s online estimates can keep drifting. Shoppers who want the Apple Store path may want to order sooner or check in-store pickup; others may prefer Amazon while it still shows day-one dates.
