Apple's first smart home collection is real and shipping in December

Apple's smart home collection is real, it's shipping in December, and the first preorders are already live on the company's online store. Right now, that mostly means LG accessories, including a $299.95 Outdoor Cam, but the whole thing hinges on the new Siri-powered HomeView smart display, which dropped today. Apple co-developed these devices with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric, which is the kind of cross-brand collaboration that makes you wonder who actually controls the software updates. I'm curious what the HomeView feels like from a kitchen counter or a bedside table, the same question that drives our colleague Jen Tuohy's hands-on look at the device. Spoot wants to know if the hardware lives up to the promise, or if this is another case where the press release ran faster than the product.
