Hoping it fixes some of the horribleness caused by these last few updates. But also worried this will be the update that fries one of my HomePods… Here goes nothing..

Supposedly it will fix the kernel panics and random popping noises during AirPlay. Obviously won’t fix the popping noises caused by Tim Cook’s brilliant engineering team. ?

Hope it fixes the "hmm, things are taking a little longer", "hmm still working", "hmm, I'm sorry". Also the mini's that I can't hear siri talk unless I increase volume to 70 and then music plays SUPER LOUD!

Hopefully it's improved the "hmm, things are taking a little longer" issue even though I've not had that for a while thankfully. Wonder why it's only the homepods that do this the most often though. While the hompod is thinking about turning of the lights with Philips hue, if I give the same command on my watch, iPhone or iPad they carry out the command immediately while the homepod is still thinking about it. Pain in the ass when the issue pops up.
