Siri Coming to 3rd-Party Apps as Apple Reportedly Will Give Access to Developers

Apple is reportedly working on its own Siri-based speaker to use in your home that will rival the likes of Amazon Echo and Google Home. The speaker would be powered by Siri and Apple would finally open up the voice assistant to third-party app developers. That means that, similar to Amazon Echo, users could finally use Siri to play music on Spotify or to summon a car with Uber--all from the speaker.
