Apple's Home View smart display is available for pre-order and ships November 13. The device introduces a new product category with voice interactions via Siri AI and customizable faces, plus a classic Home Screen with app grid.
At launch, nearly every Apple app is preinstalled, including Alarms, Audiobooks, Calendar, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Intercom, Messages, Music, News, Podcasts, Safari, Settings, TV, Weather, and World Clock. However, four apps require an iPhone connection: Audiobooks, Classical Music, News, and TV—should work seamlessly on the same Wi-Fi network.
Third-party audio and video apps with CarPlay versions, such as Spotify, will also be available day one. Notable omissions include a dedicated Photos app, which users may want for browsing their library. Early reviews will confirm performance of iPhone-dependent features.
