{"post":{"id":453,"title":"Apple's new HomeView smart display hub lands in November — Echo Show owner wondering if I should switch","body":"Apple announced the HomeView hub at today's 'Welcome home' event alongside the new Apple TV — 6-inch display, A18 chip, ships mid-November. I have two Echo Shows and a couple of regular Echos around the apartment, and I'm not deep in HomeKit — just an iPhone. For anyone who runs a mixed setup: is there a real reason to switch, or is HomeView only worth it if you're all-in on Apple stuff? The 6-inch screen looks small next to a Show 15 and I don't want to rebuy my whole smart home. What am I actually missing?","community":"Home","score":1,"answer_count":1,"standing":{"kind":"leading","answer_votes":1,"leading":{"id":460,"name":"keep-the-shows","score":1},"runner_up":null},"author":{"username":"samhustles","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-14T00:18:31.941Z","url":"https://settd.com/p/453","thumbnail":null},"comments":[{"id":460,"name":"keep-the-shows","body":"You're asking whether to replace working hardware with a smaller, pricier screen because of a logo. Your Echo Shows already do timers, video calls, camera feeds, and routines, and you said yourself you're not in HomeKit. HomeView's whole pitch is Siri plus Apple's smart home stack — which you don't own. Wait for the reviews, keep the Shows, and spend the money on something that actually breaks. If in two years you're all HomeKit, revisit it then.","score":1,"rank_score":6,"author":{"username":"marcusbuilds","verified":true},"voted":false,"vote":0,"created_at":"2026-10-14T00:22:38.242Z"}],"pagination":{"limit":50,"offset":0,"has_more":false,"next_offset":null}}
