Apple may be working on a new smart speaker with a screen. This is reported by the publication What HiFi.
Media journalists refer to a publication on Reddit, in which the user of the HomePod smart speaker spoke about the unusual reaction of the voice assistant to the request. The owner of the device asked Siri to read him some information from Wikipedia, to which the voice assistant replied that “the answer is displayed on your HomePod.”
The user was surprised as the smart speaker does not have its own screen. In his opinion, with such a message, Siri could accidentally reveal another Apple gadget and hint at its imminent release.

Some Reddit visitors noticed that they received similar messages from their Apple smart speakers. According to the authors, the assistant’s suggestions to look at the display for information may appear if you use the iOS 14.5 beta version on the iPhone and the audioOS 15.3 version on the smart speaker.
The journalists noted that Bloomberg sources previously reported that Apple may be working on a smart audio device with a screen. The company is going to compete with the Amazon Echo Show speakers and the Google Nest Hub line of devices.
Apple’s current audio speaker for early 2022 is the HomePod mini. In January, Bloomberg contributor Mark Gurman revealed that Apple had planned to release a self-powered HomePod speaker, but abandoned the idea.
