Apple HomeView Review: It’s Flawed. I Want Three More.
I’ve spent two weeks living with Apple HomeView. It frustrates me almost daily, and I still want three more. In my full Apple HomeView review, I test the countertop and wall-mounted versions and show how I actually use Apple’s smart display in my entryway, bedroom, and studio. I dig into the customizable faces, live security cameras, Apple Home controls, Siri AI, and iPhone widgets that surprised me, from checking my blood sugar with Dexcom to changing the tint of my front door glass. There’s also plenty Apple needs to fix. Some widgets show up blank, the Home face leaves out sensors, and dimming a light takes more taps than it should. And why can’t I have HomeView switch from my work face to Snoopy when I’m done for the day? Where would you put a HomeView, and what would you want it to do? Let me know in the comments, and subscribe to AppleInsider for more Apple news and reviews.
