Whether it ’ll just do a color blend or pop colors on the tunes , remain to be seen . However , Apple is leave out out on a overbold speaker with showing offering that will compete with the like of Google Nest Hub of Amazon Echo Show 5 . Both the latter products have a orthogonal presentation and that might be the last thing Apple would want to sum to the crowded smart hub speaker segment .
