Hands-on with Apple HomeView: A compact smart display for the kitchen
A ten-day test of Apple's new 7-inch HomeView smart display shows a polished, Siri-powered device that fits naturally into daily routines.
Apple has introduced the HomeView, a 7-inch smart display that integrates Siri AI and a new software interface. The device is designed for home use, and the experience feels familiar to anyone accustomed to Apple's ecosystem.
After spending ten days with the HomeView in a kitchen setting, the display proves to be compact and unobtrusive. The software experience is intuitive, leaning heavily on Siri for voice commands and smart home control. The screen size makes it suitable for countertop placement without dominating the space.
The HomeView is now available for pre-order with a $10 discount. Its performance in everyday tasks, such as checking the weather, setting timers, or controlling smart lights, is described as smooth and responsive in the review. The device earns its place as a dedicated smart home hub rather than a multipurpose tablet.
