周一的苹果全球开发者大会上有很多激动人心的发布信息。其中最大的一条新闻就是即将上市的苹果8手机上将配有增强现实功能。还有关于两款新型iPad Pros的信息——其中一款是10.5英寸的屏，另一款更新尺寸是12.9英寸。

Apple is also finally entering the smart speaker industry with the new HomePod. The company hopes to compete with Amazon's Echo and Google Home. The smart speaker is Siri-enabled, but what sets it apart from the Echo and Home is it's music capabilities³. With a 4-inch woofer and a library of over 4 million songs it's also expected to rival the Sonos speaker as well.

随着新品HomePod的出台，苹果公司最终也跨入了智能音箱行业。苹果希望能与Amazon Echo和Google Home相竞争。这款智能音箱支持Siri功能，但它与Echo和Home的区别在于其音乐播放功能。HomePod配有4英寸的低音扬声器，存有400多万首歌曲，有望成为Sonos的竞争对手。
