MKBHD is 'Not Convinced' About Apple's New HomeView, Here's Why
Apple this week introduced an all-new HomeView smart home hub, but popular tech reviewer Marques Brownlee is "not convinced" about it.
In his HomeView impressions video on his YouTube channel MKBHD, Brownlee said "I cannot figure any group that this is actually ideal for."
HomeView has a lot of overlap with other Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and HomePod. Brownlee said the HomeView does not provide enough "extra value," leading him to believe that the device should be "a skip for most people."
HomeView lacks an App Store, which limits its usefulness, but it can also
display CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a paired iPhone.
