Apple introduces smart compact music speaker

Cook used the Apple keynote to show off new iPad and Mac computer models, as well as provide glimpses at coming versions of the software powering the technology titan's devices. The conference ends on June 9.

The new iPad Pro is displayed during the 2017 Apple Worldwide Developer Conference. It features a 12-megapixel camera-like that on the iPhone 7-and a 7MP selfie cam.

Apple is trying to make augmented reality a reality with new tools for iPhones and iPads. It will only be ready to ship out to consumers later this very year, maybe alongside the newest iPhone lineup - expected to be unveiled in Summer this year. It starts at $649 with a 64GB storage configuration. On the Harman Kardon Invoke, that job belongs to Cortana; on Google Home, well, you probably can figure that one out.

The Siri-controlled device will aim to combine listening to music at home with many other functions, according to Cook.

Apart from asking Siri to play the songs, users can also ask the smart digital assistant for specific details about the music, such as the drummer or guitarist in a particular song.

The HomePod will be available in black and white at launch. Apple will put the new smart speaker on sale in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia in first, while Apple fans in other countries will have to wait until sometime in 2018.

While there's a chance Apple could reveal more colors for the HomePod between now and December, nothing was said to imply that.

The price is quite a jump from Google's $129 Home and Amazon's $180 full-sized Echo.

Actually, in all the conferences Apple mainly concentrates on the software side in their business, but now it gave a long list of hardware announcements.
