Check out this in-person look at Apple’s new hub device, complete with a hand for scale. “It’s tiny and cute!” [Media: https://twitter.com/JoannaStern/status/2109996955841552597?s=20]
Apple’s HomeView ad is confusing to everyone except parents
Ah, a nice calm weekday breakfast, said no parent ever.
Apple launches HomeView, its first smart display for the home
Hello, HomeView. What took so long?
You break it, you buy it (again).
Apple is charging $279 for all HomeView repairs, just $20 less than the smart home hub costs new. It’s $39 with AppleCare, but otherwise an official repair won’t make much sense. It’s another pricing problem for HomeView, which ships without either a mount or power adapter if you want it wall-mounted.
