Next story: Shevon Salmon's home-tech tour starts with the lights
Shevon Salmon is drawing around 366,000 views a day, more than six times his usual pace, as his home-tech run moves from apartment essentials to Apple's HomeView.
His apartment-tech tour remains the larger of the recent uploads. As we reported here, that video opens up the technology he actually lives with rather than offering the full condo tour. The new HomeView video takes a different approach: Salmon says he brought the device from Canada to Jamaica to spend a week using it.
The speakers supplied one surprise. In an accompanying upload, he says they sound better than he expected from something so small. But his central argument is about purpose: he sees HomeView as a shared hub for smart-home controls and Siri, not a replacement for an iPhone or iPad.
The longer video covers setup, facial recognition, personalized profiles, watching videos through Safari and whether Android users can use it. Despite the week-later title, Salmon describes these as first impressions. More testing of the smart-home features, he says, will happen back in Canada.
