Apple's New iMac Pro Reportedly Coming With 'Hey Siri' Functionality
The anticipation for Apple's upcoming iMac Pro 2017 has just gotten stronger after developers stumbled upon codes that appear to suggest the presence of the "Hey Siri" functionality in the Cupertino giant's new computer. Over the weekend, developers Guilherme Rambo and Steven Troughton-Smith revealed what they found after some digging into Apple's "BridgeOS 2.0" code and macOS. What's very interesting here is that the chip seems to have support for "Hey Siri" functionality. Seems to handle the macOS boot & security process, as expected; iMac Pro lets Apple experiment with tighter control without the rest of the userbase freaking out," Troughton-Smith wrote on Twitter. As per Apple Insider, this could mean that the ARM coprocessor controls the boot process, security and the FaceTime camera. Not only that, the publication said that the inclusion of the A10 Fusion means the iMac Pro is capable of accepting and processing the "Hey Siri" voice command sans the need of clicking the Siri icon or keystroke to activate the voice assistant.
