Just linking because it's not mentioned yet on the main site announcements but it is downloading for me right now (non beta) https://support.apple.com/en-us/108045

Also includes updated for the OG HomePod (always a nervous time)

My OG’s updated without me knowing about it and they survived.

What are people's opinion of this update? I am currently on 17.5 for my OG HomePods. We primarily use them to AirPlay from our Macs.

Interesting. For me ALL my various HomePod devices sound sharper, louder and more audio range. I might be imagining things but for me it’s much better.

Although the Siri specific HomePod bug remains where it will not process correctly ‘I do not like this song’ on Apple Music

I finally decided to take the leap. I feel like the sound is softer than before, but need more time listening to be sure.
