(Original title: The most complete report! What is the upcoming Siri Smart Speaker on WWDC?)
Editor's note: The rumor that Apple will launch smart speakers has been fermenting for a long time. While Amazon Echo and Google Home are enjoying the wind, Apple does not seem to have any response. Whether the WWDC will launch the long-awaited Siri smart speaker? let us wait and see. This article was published by Megan Wollerton on CNET entitled "Here's everything we know about Apple's rumored Siri speaker." This article has collated all the information and rumors about Siri's smart speakers.
Apple will hold the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 5th. Does the company want to take this opportunity to present its like products to Amazon Echo and Google Home?
For Apple, the introduction of smart speakers has long been not groundless. At the 2014 WWDC, Apple announced the launch of its smart home platform, Homekit, which is months ahead of Amazon Echo. Three years later, we are always waiting for Apple to launch voice-activated speakers that are not tied to the iOS system.
Voice-activated speakers such as Amazon Echo and Google Home make our devices better connected. Voice control is a good way for the family to control the device. At the same time, speakers in the off-line state can also improve functionality. This is a point that Apple's Homekit has not yet achieved.
You can let Amazon Alexa set a 15-minute alarm for you to remind you to feed your dog on heartworm medicine and even adjust the thermostat. You can use Google Home to read recipes or watch your favorite Netflix show (with the help of Chromecast). Apple Homekit can also use the iOS 10 Home app and siri to do the same thing, but these can only be implemented on a mobile phone or an Apple Watch (even though there was already Siri on the updated MacOS Sierra last year, it is still far from enough.) Production One Single stand-alone speakers can help Apple increase its competitiveness in the smart home sector.
In short, the lag in this area has led to many speculations about Apple's future plans. The following are some of the rumors we have heard. (Apple did not comment in time.)
Is it really advancing?
May 31, 2017: According to the Bloomberg report published on Wednesday, Apple has begun production of smart speakers. The article pointed out that "people are tired of listening to these words." The smart devices that should have appeared at the previous WWDC may not be available until the end of this year.
Integrated touch screen?
May 6, 2017: Apple Vice President of Global Markets Phil Schiller mentioned in an interview with Indian Gadgets 360 that he was not interested in Amazon and Google's smart speakers. "I won't talk specifically about any of them. I don't want to. My mother once taught me that if you don't have anything to say, then just don't say it," Schiller said.
He continued to mention the importance of interacting with the screen: "It's true that voice assistance really works very well, but that doesn't mean that you don't want a display. So I don't think a display would be a good fit in many situations."
On May 9, Amazon announced the launch of the $230 Echo Show, a touch screen Alexa that can be used to access video calls and more. Google Home speakers do not have an integrated touch screen. Personally, I don't really like having a display standing on my coffee table or kitchen counter. I think the next step might be Alexa-activated central dashboard like Wink Relay or Lucis NuBryte Touchpoint.
Apple smart speaker may appear on WWDC
May 1, 2017: Famous Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (Guo Chi Ming) said, "We believe that more than half of possible Apples will announce their first home AI products at the WWDC in June." . There are still rumors that Apple's smart speaker pricing will exceed Amazon Echo and Airplay.
If the pricing is accurate, the price of Apple's speakers may exceed all the products on the market. The following is the current smart speaker price list:
Amazon Echo Show: $230 (can be booked in advance)
Amazon Echo Look: $200 (Invitation only)
Amazon Echo: $180
Amazon Echo Dot: $50
Amazon Tap: $130
Google Home: $130
Has a built-in camera?May 27, 2016: CNET reports that Apple's smart speakers may have integrated cameras. According to some people familiar with Apple's plan, this product can identify people in the room through facial recognition technology. Imagine walking next to this device, he can recognize you, and then automatically adjust the light and music according to your preferences.
Amazon launched Echo Look with a camera in April, worth 200 US dollars. Compared to boasting that he is a security camera, Echo Look wants to be your personal consultant. Google Home does not currently have an integrated camera.
Initial news
May 24, 2016: Apple's offline speakers first appeared on The Information. The Information claims that before Apple really decided to make this device, it had been discussing how to design a developer-oriented version of Siri for many years. In addition, The Information also mentions that Apple's products to combat Echo and Home have a speaker and microphone that can be used to play music, listen to news, and even control HomeKit related devices.
