First smart home display coming
The report says Apple is internally testing the unreleased product at the home of its employees, and will be one of the important launches for new Apple CEO John Ternus. Apple is likely to base this product around Siri AI but have a new platform running the backend of the systems linked to these devices.

As for the product itself, this could have some design cues from the HomePod, and totting a display with a camera and mic so that Siri can listen to your commands and carry a conversation.
You can have the assistant play songs, set up reminders and other complex tasks that were not available with the older Siri versions. It should work with the Apple Home app and somehow linking it with the Siri app also seems like a good option for the whole integration to work across devices.
Apple could obviously bring it in the HomePod family with Max being a strong choice, or Ternus might want to show his own imprint on these products.
Siri is still a work in progress in its new avatar which is why not every region is getting full access to the assistant but having it off the ground was probably more crucial for Apple this year. That said, the company is also expected to bring a touch-based MacBook to the market around the same time.
