Apple’s new HomeView smart display is $10 cheaper at Amazon

Apple 的新款 HomeView 智能显示屏在亚马逊上便宜了 10 美元。

Apple’s first smart display doesn’t arrive until November 13th, but you can save on a couple of colorways.

苹果的首款智能显示屏要到 11 月 13 日才会上市，但你现在可以在几种配色上节省开支。

Apple only just announced on Tuesday that its first smart display, the HomeView, will arrive on November 13th, but you can already save a couple bucks on it. Right now, you can buy the display for $289.99 ($10 off) in gray and the creamy white “starlight” colorway at Amazon. Sure, it’s a small discount, but deals on new Apple devices ahead of launch are rare.

苹果周二才刚刚宣布其首款智能显示屏 HomeView 将于 11 月 13 日上市，但你现在已经可以省下几美元了。目前，你可以在亚马逊上以 289.99 美元（优惠 10 美元）的价格购买灰色和奶油白“星光色”的显示屏。当然，这只是一个小折扣，但在苹果新设备发布前提供优惠是很少见的。

Expect a full review of the HomeView in November, but my colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy spent some brief time with it and likened it to an “iPhone for your home” that looks a bit like an oversized Apple Watch. It features a gorgeous seven-inch square touchscreen that can recognize up to six household members and automatically switch between personalized experiences, displaying information relevant to whoever is using it.

预计 11 月会有关于 HomeView 的全面评测，但我的同事 Jennifer Pattison Tuohy 已经简短地体验过它，并将其比作“家里的 iPhone”，看起来有点像超大号的 Apple Watch。它配备了一块精美的 7 英寸方形触摸屏，最多可识别 6 名家庭成员，并能自动切换个性化体验，显示与当前使用者相关的信息。

As you might already know, the HomeView also doubles as a smart home hub, with support for Matter and Thread. You can use it to control compatible smart home devices, view live feeds and recorded footage from HomeKit Secure Video cameras, and more. It also features a 12-megapixel FaceTime camera for video calls, and doubles as an entertainment device, letting you play music, display photos, and more.

正如你可能已经知道的那样，HomeView 还兼作智能家居中枢，支持 Matter 和 Thread 标准。你可以用它来控制兼容的智能家居设备，查看 HomeKit 安全视频摄像头的实时画面和录像等。它还配备了一个 1200 万像素的 FaceTime 摄像头用于视频通话，并兼作娱乐设备，让你播放音乐、展示照片等。

Apple’s AI-powered Siri assistant is another big part of the experience, allowing you to ask questions and get information using personal context from your messages, calendar, and emails. That means you can ask it to find your lost keys, play a song someone texted you, pull up a recipe with step-by-step instructions and built-in timers, or help you keep track of your schedule without having to reach for your phone.

苹果由人工智能驱动的 Siri 助手是该体验的另一个重要组成部分，它允许你利用来自信息、日历和电子邮件的个人背景信息来提问并获取信息。这意味着你可以让它帮你找丢失的钥匙、播放别人发短信给你的歌曲、调出带有分步说明和内置计时器的食谱，或者帮你跟踪日程安排，而无需拿起手机。
