With iOS 15, Apple is advancing Siri with on-device processing which makes the digital assistant faster and more powerful than before—even without an internet connection.

Apple's iOS 14.5 update was a big one, and included several new features along with security and performance improvements. The update also added a very useful feature to Apple Maps that allows users to report incidents.

If several people report the same incident, then Apple will alert other drivers who are using Apple Maps in this area.

You don't need to spend big money on a brand new garage door opener in order to be able to control it with HomeKit and/or Siri. Indeed, you can simply use an add-on accessory that will bring HomeKit support to virtually any garage door opener, letting you control it using Siri or the Home app on your iPad, iPhone, or Apple Watch.
I personally upgraded my garage door opener with such an accessory a few weeks ago, and in about 30 minutes, I was all set. Now this is not a hack. This is not a workaround. This is real HomeKit support, and all it requires is the meross Smart Garage Door Opener Remote, a $49 accessory you can find on Amazon.
For the sake of inclusion and diversity, Apple's Siri virtual assistant no longer defaults to a female voice in the United States.

Follow along with our tutorial to learn how to change Siri's default voice on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and HomePod.
If you fire up the Siri virtual assistant on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, HomePod or Apple Watch right now and ask when the next Apple event is taking place, you'll get a straight answer.

Along with rumors swirling around that Apple is planning on introducing a new Apple TV set-top box, a new remote is expected to come along with it. And now tvOS is popping in to throw a reference our way to that potential future, too.
Apple is currently working on releasing the latest major update to iOS 14. The company just seeded the sixth beta of iOS 14.5 earlier today. And it turns out the upcoming new software will feature a pretty big change for Siri.
