I can't see a use for that kind of device!

I already have a display! On my iPhone and even on an iPad!

Whats the point!

And don't forgot displays on macbook, desktop, AppleWatch, TV, and so on... But, having personal exerience, I've found some points of having such a device. I have an Amazon Echo Show in my kitchen and find it super useful appliance, even if I live in a country where it is not fully supported. It replaced my old bluetooth Jambox connected to an iPhone. It plays podcasts - yes, even AppleInsider podcast, it plays Prime Video, it shows my iCloud calendar, it has multiple timers (you know, while cooking or developing films, there's a need for more timers ). It even shows recipies, if asked. It plays news in my language, tells me about traffic in my town and shows a weather forecast. All of this is done really conveniently, without need of touch, without need to carry around any other device, because it sits permanently on a dishwashing machine. It does not, however, play Apple Music other way than via bluetooth, but that's exactly the same level of incovenience a standard bluetooth speaker has. It seems there emerges new class of "kitchen/living room computer" - not a desktop, not a tablet, something in between. I hope Apple will catch on soon and make something similar. I would buy such Apple device right away.
