Electronics giant releases new HomePod and Apple TV update

Apple has just released a new software update for HomePod and Apple TV to version 16.3.1. A new version that at first does not bring significant news, but does correct some errors that have been detected since the release of version 16.3.

But don't search with your iPhone for a new iOS 16.3.1. For the moment, today was just the turn of HomePod and Apple TV. Thus, we will have to wait a few days for Cupertino to have a new update for iOS and iPadOS ready.

On Friday of last week, Apple began shipping the first orders for the new HomePod. And something had to do with the fact that it didn't quite work out when it quickly released a new version of the HomePods and Apple TV software today.

A new update, 16.3.1, which a priori does not provide anything new at the user level. It just fixes a few bugs (and they shouldn't be minor ones) that Apple has found. So don't hesitate to update your HomePod or Apple TV as soon as possible.

But there is the thing. Don't grab your iPhone or iPad and start looking for a new version 16.3.1 of iOS or iPadOS. While normally when Apple releases new updates, it usually releases them at the same time for all its devices, today it only touched HomePod and Apple TV.

This rush is certainly due to the fact that the first orders of the new HomePod are already arriving in homes around the world, and this update should fix an issue found in software 16.3, both in the HomePod version and on Apple TVs.

So we will have to wait a few days for Apple Park to have the rest of the software ready in version 16.3.1 for the rest of the devices and we can update them.
