Hi! I’m Jen Tuohy, The Verge’s senior smart home reviewer. I’ve tested every smart display Amazon and Google have ever made, and for the past week I’ve been testing Apple’s first: The $299 HomeView.
I put the tabletop and wall-mounted versions through their paces, on my kitchen counter, bedside table, in my office, and on my coffee table. I also mounted one as a smart home control panel in my entryway. I cooked with it, ran my smart home from it, took calls on it, and tested its new Siri AI capabilities.
I also let my family loose on it, and my tech-averse husband was a big fan. My teenage daughter, less so. (Ask me why).
Verge subscribers can submit questions starting right now in the comments, and I’ll start answering later today at 2PM ET / 11AM PT.
