Ask HN: Apple HomeView. What problem is Apple Home solving?

[NarcisMirandes]

I love Apple. I still think its the company that makes the most interesting products in the market. It seems to me that all new Apple Home ecosystem products are well designed and useful. It would be nice to have them. But I do not need any of them, they do not solve any specific pain, any problem I have, and I have many.

What problem is Apple Home trying to solve for the customers?

I think it only makes sense for people with kids who don’t have their own devices. It gives them a locked down portal in a “public” space of the home where they can ask questions, check the weather, or whatever else, without it all having to funnel through someone with a device.

The hope maybe also to get everyone’s nose out of their own devices.

There are so many important problems to solve. Is Apple then, not very ambitious here? Perhaps, it is only a first step a catch-up to their competitors Amazon and Google?
