Apple finally has a smart display you can actually preorder for $299

Apple's HomeView is a 7-inch squircle that looks like a gargantuan Apple Watch bolted to a speaker base, and it costs $299. You can preorder it now. It ships November 13th. That is a real date from a real company, which already makes this more concrete than most smart-display launches. The HomeView controls smart home tech, shows recipes, runs music playback, makes FaceTime calls, and hosts widgets. It is clearly the centerpiece of Apple's big push into the home. The question Spoot always asks: Who is this for? If you are already in Apple's garden, this is the front door you have been waiting for. If you are not, $299 is a lot to pay for a lock you did not ask for.
