The scene that stands out most to me is the one where a speaker is attached to the remote so you can find it under the sofa. However, since the whole article is based on rumors, the actual specifications will only be confirmed after an announcement, and the source does not mention whether it also connects to a door lock, so that seems like something to look into separately. For anyone who often uses Siri in the living room, I'm curious how convenient it would really be to call it by voice without reaching for the remote.
