Are there any third party speakers with Siri built-in ?

Hi there,

In 2021, Apple announced that Siri would be available for third party smart speaker brands.

https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-bringing-siri-to-third-party-devices-is-an-absolute-game-changer

We're over a year later, and to my knowledge ther's not a single third party speaker with Siri on board.

Am I missing something or did it just never happened ?

Thanks !

I doesnt say anywhere in those articles about speakers with Siri.

It says Siri will be compatible with some HomeKit devices.

HomeKit devices are things like switches, door locks, light bulbs, lights, security cams, thermostats, etc. but not speakers.

You're welcome, maybe in the future someone will incorporate it into a speaker but I searched both Amazon and Best Buy and didn't come up with anything.

Okay thank you for taking the time to answer !

My distorded mind saw a catch in the "third party" device phrasing, assuming it also included partner brands making speakers like Sonos and so forth. I was absolutely convinced of that and had a 10 minute argument with a collegue this morning :D
