And, as an added bonus, the Essential Home looks nice. So nice, in fact, that it could sway Apple fans who are dying to get in on the smart-home game but don't want to wait any longer for Apple to get its act together. 。 The as-of-yet unnamed Apple device will likely use HomeKit to interact with various smart appliances ("Siri, turn on the lights"), and the product's expected virtual surround sound technology means people will soon be yelling in their living rooms for Siri to play some tunes off Apple Music. 。Interestingly, Bloomberg。says that Apple's assistant will come without a screen. This would put it at odds with the Amazon Echo Show which comes complete with a 7-inch screen. However, Apple's senior VP of worldwide marketing, Phil Schiller, has hinted that the device 。
