Apple’s new HomeView smart home hub lacks an App Store, but it can still run some third-party audio and video apps that support CarPlay.
HomeView can automatically mirror CarPlay-enabled audio and video apps from a nearby, paired iPhone, with no modifications to the app required.
In a post shared on Mastodon, Broadcasts app developer Steve Troughton-Smith demonstrated what Spotify looks like on a virtualized HomeView. You may need to hover your mouse or tap and hold on the GIF in the post in order for it to be animated.
