As well as dealing with FaceTime calls and playing music, it will be providing access to personal content for each of its users.The device is capable of recognizing up to six people, Apple claims, with each getting their own personalized Home Screen.

There are better-sounding and cheaper options than four HomePods for surround sound‎

Apple's four-HomePod surround sound setup costs at a minimum $900 with a new Apple TV 4K. These five alternatives deliver dedicated wireless rear speakers and more features for considerably less money.Surround sound for Apple TVApple introduced four-speaker HomePod surround sound alongside the fourth-generation Apple TV 4K on October 13. The feature allows compatible HomePods to operate as matching front and rear pairs, with Apple TV automatically calibrating audio timing and levels based on speaker placement.However, as we reported, the feature requires the new $299 Apple TV 4K and four compatible HomePods.

Combined with the required Apple TV 4K, the complete system costs $1,295 before taxes. Four HomePod minis bring the total down to $895, while four full-size HomePods push the cost to $1,695.

HomeView doesn't play video apps natively, you still need an iPhone or iPad‎

Apple has tried talking around the issue and even shown Apple TV screenshots, but now it's clear the new HomeView cannot play Apple TV or other video apps unless there's a CarPlay app for it.You'd be forgiven for assuming this means you can watch Apple TV on HomeView, but Apple sidesteps telling you how - image credit: Apple.HomeView looked at first to be great if you only wanted Apple's own apps, but now it seems you aren't even getting all of those.

It was pretty nice to play media and games directly on my then-plasma Philips HD flatscreen.Then Steve Jobs rolled out the Apple TV, calling it a "hobby" later in the year.
