Employees of Apple have been testing Siri speakers in their homes for the last several months, revealed by top news source Bloomberg.Siri speaker project is into processing from quite long time but till now Apple has willfully managed to avoid any news leaks into the media regarding specs or design.
Last September it was reported in media that Apple engineers started prototype device home testingand public disclosure is expected next month.
Unlike Amazon new Echo show, it is not certain if Apple will focus on an audio or the feature display but VP Phil Schiller caught saying that consumer gadgets have more value with screen emphasis.
