Apple is finally entering the smart home in a huge way. Here's what will reportedly be announced, and what we think is unlikely.
We finally have confirmation of Apple’s massive smart home event, which is happening on Tuesday. So many things are expected to be announced, centering on Apple and Siri entering the home tech space in all-new ways. The tech giant’s smart home devices will face serious competition from Amazon, Google and other players.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been collecting the reports, insider claims and possible leaks to see just what Apple could be announcing. It all points to a major shake-up for home security, smart home devices and how Siri AI can be used. CNET will be there in person to see what Apple has cooked up, but in the meantime, here are the latest rumors.
A representative from Apple didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
For more than a year, Apple has been rumored to be near the release of a Siri-focused smart display hub for the home. This display would focus heavily on Siri AI and compete with products like Amazon’s Echo Show and the Google Nest Hub line.
Smart displays can add a lot of functionality to smart speakers , if you don’t mind using voice assistants. Rumors say the display could swivel and/or be attached to a wall, be at least several inches wide and allow Siri to recognize different people when multiple users are having a conversation.
