The HomeView is smaller than I expected, has a surprising amount in common with the Apple Watch, and makes for a great smart home control panel.

Apple has just announced the HomeView, its first smart home display — and I just got hands-on with the device, which features a gorgeous 7-inch square touchscreen and built-in Siri AI. It’s designed as a smart home controller, personal assistant, and home hub for your household, so there was a lot to check out.
The first thing that struck me about the HomeView was its size. It’s much smaller than I expected, and the screen almost entirely hides the small aluminum base that acts as a speaker. The Liquid Retina display is bright and responsive to touch, and it displays photos and the HomeView “faces” brilliantly.
You can swipe to change faces easily and choose from dozens of options, most of which resemble Apple Watch faces. The display feels like a giant Apple Watch paired with the functionality of an iPhone and the room to breathe of an iPad.
