A closer look at “Apple HomeView Lacks Native Video App Support, Including Apple TV and Apple News Plus”, exactly as the source publishes it. Apple's new HomeView feature is being marketed as "the perfect way" to enjoy the company's audio and video entertainment apps, but a closer look at the HomeView spec page reveals significant gaps. Notably, Apple TV, Apple Books audiobooks, Apple Music Classical, and Apple News Plus are not natively supported on HomeView. Users who want to access these services on HomeView must rely on AirPlay from an iPhone, which adds friction and limits functionality.
This omission is surprising given Apple's emphasis on a seamless ecosystem, and it could frustrate early adopters who expect first-party apps to work out of the box. The lack of native support for Apple TV is particularly glaring, as video consumption is a core use case for a smart display or hub device. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
