Apple Is Manufacturing a Siri Speaker
The last 1/3 of your comment contradicts the first 1/3 :)

Not really. The HW design trade-offs would be very different, leading to hardware optimized for different purposes.

One describes Apple in general, while the other points to a specific exceptional case.

The iPhone is a phone, with all the space and power limitations inherent in that form factor. A standalone speaker is something else entirely.

True, but I speak directly into my phone, which I assume is a big advantage for the phone?

Seems like it would be. I never use Siri speaking directly into the phone, because if I have the phone in hand, I just do whatever I need to do and skip Siri. The only time I try it is when the phone is out of reach, or in the car.

That was in fact the point. Siri might work in a speaker orange a lot better than it works in an iPhone apple. ;-)
