But this was not the long-rumoured device that the company has been working on with former Apple design chief Jony Ive. Said device will supposedly be a screenless smart speaker, and ahead of any official announcements, more details have emerged, courtesy of Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. According to Gurman’s report, the smart speaker will feature a ring-shaped build that’s about “the size of a hockey puck”. The smart speaker will also sport a premium look, incorporating high-quality metal. The smart speaker could see a launch sometime in 2027, with more always-on AI gadgets to follow after.
