  1. iPhone Duo lacks FaceTime Eye Contact

    Gizmodo, citing MacRumors, reports that Apple’s iPhone Duo does not support the FaceTime Eye Contact feature, which uses on-device AI to make users appear to look into the camera during a call. The feature has been available across numerous iPhone models since iOS 14, but Apple has not explained the omission or said when it might be added.

  3. Apple HomeView hands-on: an ambient smart display built around Apple's ecosystem

    TechRadar's Jacob Krol spent more hands-on time with HomeView, Apple's first smart display, in Apple's demo space. He describes an interface that feels like a supersized, customizable Apple Watch face you swipe between, with core apps such as Home, Music, FaceTime and Calendar preinstalled; developers cannot build dedicated HomeView apps, so Apple instead brings compatible experiences over from the iPhone. The piece notes a Dynamic Island-style music control strip when switching tasks, no notifications at all by design, iPhone Handoff for music, calls and Safari pages via a tap on the display, and a 12-megapixel camera that also serves as a mirror. Krol stresses this was brief demo-space time, not a full review or an at-home test, and the article also mentions refreshed HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K models that are said to bring Siri AI to more devices around the home.

  4. Apple HomeView vs Amazon Echo Show 11: which smart display fits your home

    TechRepublic compared Apple's HomeView and Amazon's Echo Show 11 across price, display, AI assistant, smart-home support and privacy. HomeView, unveiled October 13 at $299, pairs a 7-inch screen and A18 chip with Siri AI and facial recognition for up to six household members, and ships November 13 in eight markets including the US and UK but not the European Union. Echo Show 11 has been available since November 2025 at $219.99 with an 11-inch screen, Alexa+ and Zigbee hub support, while wall-mounting HomeView adds a mount starting at $59.95, and the report says HomeView's reliability and audio still need independent testing after November 13.
