After using Apple HomeView I think it’s the smart display you've been waiting for – just don’t bring your Ring doorbell

Apple launched HomeView, a 7-inch smart display priced at $299, on 13 November. It integrates with Apple's ecosystem, offering features like Handoff and Siri AI, but lacks compatibility with some smart home devices like Ring doorbells. The device is available in tabletop and wall-mounted versions, with a 7-inch LCD display and aluminium base. It recognizes up to six users and adapts its interface based on proximity and user recognition.
