Apple rolls out updates for HomePod and Apple TV

Apple has just released the updates that were missing to have all its devices in the latest version with those corresponding to HomePod and Apple TV, now downloadable.

Yesterday we had the new versions for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, but we were missing those for HomePod and Apple TV. The wait is over and now we can download them to our devices and take advantage of all the new features included, which in the case of the HomePod are also interesting

. The new HomePod update to version 16.3 brings, in the case of the HomePod mini, a new feature which was reserved for the HomePod which has just been launched, but which owners of the small Apple speaker will also be able to take advantage of: new temperature and humidity sensors.

Available on the HomePod mini since launch but with no known functionality, these sensors will start to be useful on the tiny speaker as soon as you update it to version 16.3. From there, and as long as your iPhone is also updated, you will be able to know the temperature and humidity of the room in which the HomePod mini is located

, and use that data for automations. In addition, the environmental sounds that can be heard from the HomePod are improved, recurring automations can be configured with the voice of it and we can ask Siri where a friend or family member is, obviously as long as it shares its location with you. There are also improvements in the volume control of the original HomePod and improvements in the reproduction of voice content, to listen to podcasts and the like with more quality.

In the case of Apple TV updating to tvOS 16.3 brings no known news With the exception of performance improvements and bug fixes, a true Apple classic.
