Currently Playing: Amazon Echo Owner Reacts to Apple HomeView

I am reacting to the new Apple Home View to see if it can actually compete with my current Amazon Echo setup. Apple is entering the smart home space with a dedicated display, and I wanted to see how it handles daily tasks. I am walking through the interface, including the front door camera feed and the general dashboard for smart home controls, to determine if it offers a real upgrade for your automation needs. The core of this smart home assistant relies on the latest Siri AI improvements, which promise better integration across the entire ecosystem. I am comparing these features against what I am used to with Alexa to help you decide if this hardware is worth the switch or if it is just another screen on your wall.
