Apple’s HomeView has an app problem

Apple's new HomeView smart home device has significant computing power but relies almost entirely on CarPlay for its app ecosystem rather than establishing its own app platform. The Vergecast discusses the strategic reasoning behind Apple's decision not to make the home hub a standalone app platform.

Background

Apple recently announced the HomeView as part of its smart home ecosystem expansion, positioning it as a display-centric home hub with always-on connectivity and substantial computing hardware.
