Following on from yesterday’s post about Apple introducing an Echo competitor.
Venture Beat reports that this may take the form of a new Apple TV. This sounds like a strange and difficult user experience. Requiring the TV to be on to interact with the device seems cumbersome.
There is the possibility that a new Apple TV may have an external speaker. However, this would no doubt be a speaker of poor quality. What I would like to see is something like an Apple speaker, akin to the Sonos. This would seem like a more natural interface to converse with an audio based digital assistance, as well as giving Apple a fantastic platform for Apple Music.
WWDC is definitely hotting up to be interesting!
