At Apple’s NYC experience, I got an early look at HomeView, its new smart home display. I still have unanswered questions but my early take is that I like it. A lot.

Most of you have seen the general rundown on the hardware. It’s a 7-inch Liquid Retina display, perched atop a speaker base or mounted to a wall that you can control with your voice or touch.
It has Siri AI built-in to operate your smart home, answer questions, find your lost Apple TV 4K Siri Remote, or otherwise control it. There’s a built-in camera that can recognize up to six distinct users to load personal information, such as message history or calendars.
