> The product comes in Apple's standard gray aluminum finish and includes a USB-C port for power. The screen sits above a metal, round base with multiple rings of perforated speaker holes and connects to it through a polished metal arm. Users can manually tilt the display forward or backward. And the base has a rubberized bottom to help it stay on a table.

Apple has also developed a second version, code-named J491, designed to be mounted on a wall. It has a thin, square-shaped base beneath the display that houses the speakers and microphones. The base sits flat on the wall below the screen. This version also must remain connected

Great, we can finally have some sanity in the smart home area. I think this area is Apple's new domain to master and dominate. In a few years, we'll see their products all over the home. I see smart screens, smart switches and even smart home robots. All coming from Apple.

Makes sense that they waited until Siri was better to roll this out. I wonder how it will be priced. If it's a HomePod plus a screen plus more processors/RAM, it could be even more than a Mac, and not just the Neo.

The wall-mounted version might be cheaper if it doesn't have the pricey speaker included.
