Apple's smart speaker hadalso received an upgrade several weeks ago, in September, following the arrival of iOS 17. This update brought major new features. Like support for AirPlay by Siri, adding new controls to mute or unmute a call via HomePod, as well as improving dialogue. The speaker has since received update 17.1. It enabled support for dialog enhancement for HomePod mini and first generation.
Regarding the latest version 17.1.1,this does not bring anything new, but aims tocorrect the difficultiesencountered by users since previous upgrades. Many people complain of problemsprocessing queries with Siri.
