HomePod OS 12 private beta has revealed new features, including multiple Siri timers, making and answering phone calls, Find My iPhone, and much more.
Apple has announced that it will be hosting a live event in its Support Communities that will be based around its HomePod smart speaker. Here are the details.
Apple HomePod 11.4.1 firmware update has been released. Here's what is new and how to download it on your smart speaker.
A new report is suggesting that Apple is set to strengthen its working relationship with chip provider MediaTek, both immediately and potentially more so going forward. MediaTek is said to now be part of Apple's HomePod supply chain and could potentially be involved in providing 5G modems for future iPhone models.
Here is a guide on how to setup and create a stereo pair using two HomePod devices with the new feature introduced in iOS 11.4.
Here's a guide on how to use AirPlay 2 and its new multi-room audio feature across multiple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Windows PC, Apple TV, and HomePod.
Here's how to AirPlay content on HomePod without active Internet or WiFi connection between the iOS or Mac device and the HomePod itself.
As part of iOS 11.4, Siri is set to gain additional capabilities in that it will have the ability to pass voice commands through the chain to Apple's AirPlay 2-enabled devices.
You can now get Apple HomePod 11.3.0 download for the Siri-powered speaker. Changes in the update are detailed here.
Apple's HomePod is only a few weeks old which means that special deals on the smart speaker are hard to come by. In fact, the standard $349 (+$30~ tax) price is pretty much what you would expect to pay if you were looking to pick a HomePod up, at least until you saw the headline for this post.
