Barbera spent the past week testing the HomeView and has shared his impressions, so be sure to watch our video above to hear what he thinks.
As a refresher, the HomeView features an aluminum design, with the display connected to a domed speaker base by a stainless steel tilting hinge. Apple says it is ideal for a kitchen counter, nightstand, or side table. The device has a 7-inch square display, and it is ideal for using Siri AI, controlling smart home accessories, FaceTime video calls, and more.
In the U.S., both the tabletop and wall-mounted versions of the HomeView are priced at $299, but you will also need to purchase a mount if you opt for the wall-mounted version. Apple sells three mounts priced between $59.95 and $129.95.
