Worth waiting

Apple HomeView

Apple HomeView is a smart display with Siri AI, Liquid Retina display, high-fidelity audio, FaceTime, smart home controls, built-in privacy and more.

Buy on AmazonBuy at Apple

Amazon is usually cheaper and comes with the same one-year Apple warranty. Either way you can add AppleCare+ within 60 days of purchase.

iHelp's verdict

A lovely design and a new idea, but it's first generation, Siri AI on it is in beta, and the personal features need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer. Let the November reviews land.
