Apple finally made a smart display, and the reviews just landed. Welcome to Tech After Dark, fresh off the feeds. I'm Nova, here with Glitch, and the first reviews of Apple's HomeView, its first smart display, are in. Ooh, okay! The Verge calls it superb at controlling your smart home. And it's the first Apple smart speaker with Siri A I, though The Verge says it's still slow at times. Slow Siri. Shocking.

Engadget lists the HomeView at 299 dollars, arriving this week. So, Glitch, what's the catch? It leans on an iPhone or iPad to mirror apps, Nova. And right now? The only video app on it is Apple T V. I checked for others. There aren't any. My take? It looks strongest for homes already deep in Apple's apps. The Verge and Engadget have way more in their full reviews, linked with this story. See you next time.
