If Apple’s first smart display finally gets my family to actually use my smart home, I’ll consider it a win.
Minor updates to the Mini, along with a price bump and a delay for Siri AI, are disappointing — but I love the new pink color and that I can properly pair the smart speaker with my Mac. I’m excited that Apple added far-field mics to the Apple TV 4K (4th gen) and, of course, thrilled that remote now has Find My. But that price … ouch.
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.

I dove deep into smart home menus and swiped through endless faces to bring you a closer look at the features of Apple’s newest gadget for your home.
We’ll have hands-on impressions shortly, but take a look at Apple’s smart display hub on table and wall-mount setups.
This one is from Brian Tong, taking a quick look at the HomeView display units from all sides. How does it look to you?
