Surprised they’re going for 1:1 and not 16:9. I know a lot of people who use tablets and devices in the kitchen and watch videos while cooking. Granted you can do it on a square but you’re gonna be letterboxed at a smaller resolution
At this point, why not mount an iPad in the kitchen? It will be a far better fit than this smart home display
Cost, and having something dedicated to the space. Maybe also that it controls your smart home stuff so you want it to stay in place and not be taken out of the home. I can see something comparable to an Apple TV with a built in display/speakers/camera. Don’t need much power, but something that can run your streaming services, YouTube for cooking videos, and a FaceTime camera for calls would be neat.
Again, get a dedicated iPad and mount it permanently in the kitchen. The new display won’t be much cheaper than the cheapest iPad.
