As Apple follows ai, spare the thought of a poor homepost

When a video that is hit by Apple’s He started yesterday, I was glad to see homepod in opening. I didn’t think about Apple’s damn smart home speaker, so I’m all set up for Tim Cook and Crew to deliver real surprise and discover new things for the homeland. When the entire presentation is passed without another product entry, I was disappointed, but resigned.

The home page has always been behind the curve. When the smart speakers came to the scene for the first time, and Amazon and Google dominated Amazon and Google, as well as the third party boutique option. Apple Homemade in June 2017 years, almost three years after Amazon Original ECHO speaker.

The homemade arrived too slowly and cost too much and (in the echo of current trouble) Siri was too incomprehensible, because the smart president really returns a lot of market share from his rivals. Mini Itereration came out at the end of 2020. year, and the second generation’s homeland in February 2023. she added support for the Smart Home Standard thread. Not exactly pressing the boundaries of smart speaker innovation.

And things are worse for a poor home page because they crossed the voice control with their voice control. AI has now been integrated ever ever in our smartphones and computers, with less need for a special intermediary device. What brings us to the current issue of Apple’s trembling stronghold in AI race.

Apple promised a great sira overhaul for just a while, and a new and improved version that does not currently get . To show that the new AI assistant, Apple is supposedly working on an It is expected to have baked audio options such as a domestic unit, but will not be ready to launch . What does the company do in the meantime?

It makes sense that Apple keeps any great developments in the existing Siri Centric Smart Roespors. I understand. But I could have been hyper to see the subtracted down, which focused more on the speaker than to be smart. I have Sonos I love, and part of me assumed that I would eventually upgrade to an apple offer. Airpods are such a great element in the Apple ecosystem and I am almost using it. Having a powerful, high-quality home speaker that makes a simple part of Apple Value Bids, it could have been bridged about the time space, holding an apple in the head as a player in home technology while the company works at the next, innovative move. Take a step back to take three steps forward.

In practice, however, it feels like a window that the homes become a star in Apple’s line decreased to almost nothing. As I now look at recent trends in AI and home technique, I don’t see obvious space for smart speakers. It is not limited to an apple; It is also pretty saying that Amazon and Google also did not give much love for their smart speakers. In fact, most This year, they are made of specialist sonsists because large names of techniques focused on AI instead of audio. We will still have smart speakers, but they will be folded in multi-purpose gadgets and threw themselves as general smart houses.

To be clear, there is no indication that Apple will set and set homepod. But my personal prediction is that the homes will remain on the margins for now and to find new smart home products, receiving only occasional attention until Apple not to attract the plug. And so will end the life of cross-star products that never got a chance to shine in its full potential. Here’s hope I’m wrong.
