Sonos is one of the most reputable speaker companies in the industry. In its catalog we have different very interesting options. And recently a sound bar baptized under the name of Sonos Beam was added that integrated Amazon's Alexa.
It should also be noted that the company will integrate in its family of speakers (Sonos Play: 5, Sonos One and Sonos PlayBase) the latest Apple standard known as AirPlay 2, and with which to enjoy stereo sound or the long-awaited multiroom. Now, the news jumped after the interview by the portal The Verge to the CEO of Sonos, Patrick Spence, who has made reference to the different virtual assistants in the market and has dropped that Apple could open Siri to third parties.
Currently, Spence's company works with Alexa and Google Assistant, two of the pioneers in the field of virtual assistants, although they appeared after Siri, which did it together with the iPhone 4S. Currently, and through Siri it is possible to control the speakers of the popular companyAlthough it seems that Sonos wants to go a step further and has had conversations with Apple about its assistant.
In Spence's own words to The Verge: "I think at this point Apple needs to decide whether to open Siri to third parties, but we have a good relationship with Apple, and we've had some conversations about this and we hope to have more." It is not clear whether this dilemma has arisen currently or they have been holding meetings on this issue for months. However, all bets indicate that Apple will be reluctant to open this type of product to third parties having already a product on the market and, according to rumors that appeared a few days ago, Beats could also have a speaker with the integrated assistant and with a more content price that does not exceed 250 dollars.
