Leading analyst of KGI Securities Min-Chi Kuo compiled a memo for investors. It reports on a "smart" column with support for Siri. He calls it "the first home product with artificial intelligence from Apple".
It is reported that the new device will be presented at WWDC 2017. It will compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home. It is noted that in the walls of the headquarters have already completed the development and have already launched production.
The wireless column will receive a powerful "hardware" and a modified version of iOS.
Who is sure that the gadget "sounds great", as it is equipped with just seven speakers and a built-in subwoofer. The design is silent about the design, although it was previously claimed that it will be similar to the one in the current Mac Pro.
The analyst also noted that in the first year it is planned to put about 10 million columns, the release rate for WWDC is 50%. Production is already being handled by Inventec, responsible for the release of AirPods.
