From Mark Gurman on X, linking to his story on Bloomberg:
NEW: Apple’s long-in-the-works smart home display and speaker with facial recognition for showing your personal content is delayed again, waiting on Apple’s new Siri and AI features. Current plan: September.
I quoted it with the following:
PSA: You can pre-plan for this platform today using the session “Design Interactive Snippets.” No need to wait for WWDC.
Design Interactive Snippets walks through how to design for the interactive, context-aware surface this hardware will use — Snippets are part of the Actions portion the new Siri and the content is powered by personal-context patterns that will finally be available when the device ships.
As you watch the session, think about how your app’s content and intents could show up on a home display – you can be ready when the device ships in September.
Give the session a watch and read the full story on Bloomberg.
