Siri Speaker: There's An 'Over 50% Chance' Apple Will Announce Device At June's WWDC

Apple's rumored Siri speaker could be announced as soon as June at the Worldwide Developers Conference, according to a note by KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo obtained by MacRumors. Kuo said there is an "over 50 percent chance" the speaker will be revealed at WWDC, which will be held June 5-9. "We believe there is an over 50 percent chance that Apple will announce its first home AI [artificial intelligence] product at WWDC in June and start selling in the [second half of 2017] in order to compete with the new Amazon Echo models to be launched," Kuo said in the note. The analyst also revealed the Siri speaker will cost more than the Amazon Echo. Apple's rumored speaker will supposedly support AirPlay, which had been rumored before, and will have "excellent" acoustics performance.
