播客、小工具、科技：苹果的 HomeView 面临应用难题。在《The Vergecast》节目中：依赖 CarPlay、重返 X 平台、与 Muse 竞争等等。作者：David Pierce，2026 年 10 月 16 日，世界标准时间下午 3:38。David Pierce 是《The Vergecast》的特约编辑兼联合主持人，在消费科技报道领域拥有超过十年的经验。此前曾供职于 Protocol、《华尔街日报》和《连线》。
It’s been a couple of days since Apple’s big smart home announcement, and we have some more information — and a bunch of new questions — about the Apple HomeView. The device has plenty of computing oomph, is always connected to power, and looks like a perfect place to run a bunch of apps. And yet the HomeView is relying almost entirely on CarPlay. What gives here?
距离苹果发布重磅智能家居公告已经过去几天了，我们获得了关于 Apple HomeView 的更多信息，同时也产生了一系列新的疑问。该设备拥有充足的计算能力，始终连接电源，看起来是运行各类应用程序的理想平台。然而，HomeView 却几乎完全依赖于 CarPlay。这到底是怎么回事？
On this episode of The Vergecast, David and Nilay try to make sense of the HomeView’s app situation, and why Apple would choose not to make its home hub into its own app platform. After that, they talk about the latest Gemini model and whether building the best model matters if you can’t build the best products around it. They then debate the merits of returning to X, why none of the supposed Twitter replacements worked, the latest in Brendan Carr nonsense, and much more. Watch | Listen | Get ad-free
