Apple is usually among the leading companies in whatever category the company launches its products but the Cupertino-based technology giant has a minimal market share when it comes to smart speakers.

In an effort to tilt the market to its advantage, it is reported that Apple could be working on a 15-inch iPad. The large-screened iPad could be positioned in such a way that it will support smart speakers from the brand.

One of the biggest advantages that Apple has when it comes to smart devices is its App Store and with the new 15-inch iPad as a smart display solution in support for speakers, the App Store can be leveraged to gain more users.

The report indicates that the upcoming large-screened iPad could come packed with a powerful chipset and include a top-of-the-line camera in landscape orientation. It is expected to have support for the wall mount and have a power plug at the back.

It is speculated to be a two-in-one device that can be used as a smart display for home or double up as a tablet. The device is expected to go official in a couple of years but whenever it launches, the pricing will be crucial in its success.

Currently, Amazon and Google are dominating the smart speaker market with 69 percent and 25 percent of the market share. One factor that is helping them is their smart voice assistant — Alexa and Google Assistant, which are considered to be much better than Siri when it comes to virtual assistance.

In related news, the report also confirms that Apple will launch its new iPad Pro in 11-inch and 12.9-inch models next year. Both of them will come with a mini-LED display and have support for Mag-Safe wireless charging as well as reverse wireless charging.
