HomeView: 5 questionable decisions in Apple's new smart screen

Tech Advisor highlighted five questionable choices in Apple's HomeView: a square display instead of a widescreen, no third-party apps at launch, an iPhone 15 Pro requirement for key features, a camera locked out of home security use, and extra cost for wall mounting. Pre-orders are live ahead of the November 13 release, priced from $299.

• Square display distorts video and complicates recipe browsing
• No third-party apps at launch, including YouTube and Netflix
• Full features require an iPhone 15 Pro or newer
• Wall mount adds $59.95–$79.95 to the price
