Apple’s HomeView is my new favorite smart display — but not my daughter’s

TLDR

The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy rates Apple’s $299 HomeView 7/10, praising speedy smart-home controls and guided cooking. The trouble starts when the shared screen plays personal assistant: she could sometimes read her daughter’s texts during profile handoffs or while both were nearby. She also found Siri AI, still in beta, slow with personal requests. Her verdict: better as an Apple Home hub than a family iPhone.
