Will HomeView Support Third-Party Apps? Here’s What Apple Says
The 7-inch display controls smart home devices, makes FaceTime calls and plays media, but some apps still require a paired iPhone.
- Apple announced the HomeView, a $299 smart home display with a 7-inch touchscreen, available for preorder yesterday with shipping beginning November 13.
- Designed for 'life at home,' the hub runs on the A18 chip to manage smart accessories and integrate personal context through Siri for automated routines.
- While HomeView supports third-party media apps like Spotify, certain first-party services including Apple TV and Apple News Plus require users to AirPlay content through a paired iPhone.
- Unlike competitors such as the Amazon Echo Show and Google Nest Hub, HomeView relies on iPhone connectivity for entertainment apps, a limitation Apple has not yet clarified.
- Lacking a dedicated App Store, the device functions similarly to CarPlay, requiring a connected iPhone for many features; developers can port existing CarPlay apps to the platform.
