Apple Launches HomeView Smart Home Hub With New Face-Recognition System
Apple's HomeView, launching Friday, is a countertop smart home device that can be personalized for up to six household members linked to their own iCloud accounts. Rather than using FaceID or TouchID, it relies on a new 'person recognition' system built on Apple's sensor-security architecture to distinguish users via ambient face and voice data, while also checking that a user's iPhone or iPad is on the same network and recently unlocked.
