Apple Releases HomePod 17.3 Software

It is so people can track their desired OS release without reading through pages of unrelated posts.

I'm sure it won't fix "Sorry this is taking too long", "I didn't get that", "Audio cutting in and out when play everywhere is asked", "There is a problem with Apple Music", "Siri ignoring you completely" "Volume suddenly gets louder then lower if you have Dolby Atmos enabled"...the list goes on and on.

“Who’s speaking?” Several times per week along with Siri completely ignoring me are the most frustrating to me. What the hell has Apple done to this solution? Remember when you could whisper across the room and Siri would hear and respond???

Mine are actually working fairly well right now, kind of afraid to touch them.

Edit: as usual couldn’t resist and did it anyway. The usual weirdness after the first reboot. I’ve found that Apple devices for whatever reason tend to work better after an update when you do a second reboot yourself, rather than just the one that the update does.

Might just be a voodoo ritual but it works, everything is fine. By the way I’m basically using them just as a stereo pair with an Apple TV and to control the lights in that room. That was all very buggy with 17 but is finally working well now.

OGs made it

HomePod is like the project you started and has all kind of spaghetti code in it but you're too lazy to fix it and its more of a hassle to fix it.
