Apple is reportedly releasing three new distinct iPhone models this year, two using OLED technology and the other rocking an LCD screen without 3D Touch and costing between $700 and $800 in the United States.
Ahead of HomePod's February 9 launch, Apple today released the iOS 11.2.5 software update.
On Tuesday, January 23, 2017, Apple released iOS 11.2.5 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
One of the tidbits about HomePod that can be gleaned easily from Apple's refreshed website and today's press release announcing the device's February 9 availability is the fact that the Siri-driven smart speaker won't take phone calls at launch.
Has Apple realized that 3D Touch may be a gimmicky feature after all?
HomePod is arriving February 9 with Apple's standard one-year warranty.
HomePod is launching February 9 and you'll need an Apple Music subscription for full music functionality and to enjoy a catalog of more than 45 million songs because the Siri-driven smart speaker does not support non-Apple music services for the time being.
Aside from announcing HomePod's February 9 availability, Apple's now updated the official webpage for its $349 Siri-driven wireless speaker with some previously unknown tidbits.
In addition to launching on Friday, February 9Â in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, HomePod is scheduled to arrive in France and Germany this spring.
In spite of criticism, Siri is the most popular personal digital assistant out there.
In announcing this morning that HomePod will be available to order online on Friday ahead of its scheduled February 9 launch, Apple has said that its $349 wireless speaker won't support multi-room audio at launch.
Apple announced via a press release on Tuesday that HomePod, its Siri-powered wireless speaker for the connected home, is officially arriving in stores on Friday, February 9, with orders available from this coming Friday, January 26.
