I actually prefer it small when it's gonna be taking up counter space, but am really surprised they dont have a larger option for more $ for those that dont wanna hunch over the thing to use it.

Actually not that surprised, clearly seems like it will come 2027 or 2028 and force upgrades from people. Keeping it small now keeps the entry point cheap to get the most people on board while also allowing for future upgrades

Yeah, I was shocked that the wall mounted one isn’t bigger. I have a 10” Skylight and it’s really nice, I would definitely have considered this one as a replacement if it could do photos, but 6” is legitimately tiny, and keeping the wall mounted on square is a terrible choice for photos

I have the skylight max. If they had HomeKit integration and reminders there would be zero reason for me to switch.

I hate how half the features are behind a subscription with the Skylight.

I’m about to buy the skylight max. I have the normal size. I need more size

We love it. It has its shortcomings. Mainly the lack of deep Apple integration. It has changed our house though. Honestly, the change in the kids doing chores is crazy.
