I Tried Apple’s HomeView… and Now I’m Buying THREE

Apple’s new HomeView smart home display is finally here, and after going hands-on, I’m convinced people are getting it all wrong.

At first glance, Apple’s HomeView might seem like an iPad designed to sit on your kitchen counter or mount to your wall. But there’s a lot more to this new Apple Home device than meets the eye.

In this video, I go hands-on with the new Apple HomeView, explore its design and features, and explain why I’m buying one for my own smart home.

We’ll also tackle one of the biggest questions surrounding Apple’s new smart home display: Why buy a HomeView when you could just mount an iPad to the wall?

From its dedicated smart home experience and family-friendly design to how it fits into the larger Apple ecosystem, there are some compelling reasons why HomeView makes sense — even if you already own an iPad.

Is Apple’s HomeView worth buying? Is it the smart home hub Apple Home users have been waiting for? And why do I think so many people are missing the point?
