Apple's new HomeView smart home hub lacks an App Store, but it can still run third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay. HomeView automatically mirrors CarPlay-enabled apps from a nearby, paired iPhone, with no modifications to the app required.
In a post shared on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith demonstrated what Spotify looks like on a virtualized HomeView. The full list of built-in Apple apps on the HomeView includes Alarms, Calendar, FaceTime, Find My, Home, Intercom, Messages, Music, Podcasts, Reminders, Safari, Settings, Timers, Weather, and World Clock.
CarPlay-enabled apps from iPhone available on HomeView include Apple Music Classical, Apple News, Apple TV, Audiobooks, and supported third-party audio and video apps like Spotify. HomeView is available to pre-order now and launches Friday, November 13.
