Apple's plans for an intelligent screen suffer a setback related to Siri

It is rumored for months that Apple planned to launch a device earlier this year that would serve as an intelligent domestic center with a screen, similar to the devices that its main competitors Smart Home, amazon and Google, have offered for years. The device is expected to be the first Smart Apple domestic center with support for Apple Intelligence. It is also rumored that it is executed in TVOS and admits Native Apple applications such as calendar, notes and, according to recent rumors, Apple messages compatibility.

Apple said last week that its updated intelligent assistant is taking “more time than we think”, and will be launched in the “next year”, insinuating that it may not be an iOS 18 function as it was originally promised. The Apple Intelligence version that we have now really offers any smart home feature, so Apple launch an intelligent screen that is wrapped in the Siri ai update would not make much sense at this time.

Apple competitors, at first glance, seem to be advancing. amazon, who has had his own struggles by integrating ai in Alexa, has announced that he is finally doing exactly that with Alexa Plus, starting with his own solid exhibition line Smart Show Show that recently included the addition of the Echo Show 21. Google began its own similar deployment of Gemini in December, although only for some sneakers of nests. But in both cases, they are limited deployments and are not really in the public sphere.
