Apple's first smart display
The Verge's senior smart home reviewer Jen Tuohy used Apple's first smart display, the HomeView, for a week. The device costs $299 and comes in tabletop and wall-mounted versions.
Where it was tested
HomeView was tested on a kitchen counter, a bedside table, in an office and on a coffee table. It was also mounted in an entryway as a smart home control panel. Tuohy cooked with it, ran her smart home from it and took calls on it.
The new Siri AI
A key part of the test focused on HomeView's new Siri AI capabilities. The reviewer let her family use the device too; her tech-averse husband was a big fan, while her teenage daughter was less impressed.
