Alongside iOS 11.3, watchOS 4.3, and tvOS 11.3, Apple today released a new 11.3 software update designed for the HomePod.

This marks the first software update that's been released for the HomePod since it became available for purchase in February.

The new HomePod software will be installed automatically on the HomePod after you update to iOS 11.3, but you can also manually update and check your software version by following the instructions in our HomePod software how to.

It's not clear what new features are included in the HomePod software just yet, but we are waiting on both AirPlay 2 and a feature to allow two HomePods to be paired together for stereo sound. Apple's release notes don't divulge any details about what might be included, suggesting these features have not been implemented.

According to the release notes, the update "includes general improvements for stability and quality."

Most likely just trying to keep version numbers in line. Maybe some small bug fixes at most.

Fingers crossed for multiple profiles/voice recognition by 12.0

You aren't going to see that before 12.0. At this point 11.3, maybe 11.4 are the furthest we'll see things go with iOS 11. WWDC is in a couple months and they'll announce 12 there, then it's only some minor bug fixes until it's released in Sept.

Multiple profiles is far too large of a feature to see in the upcoming minor releases. It wouldn't surprise me if we don't even see it until the HomePod sees an update to the HomePod 2 or whatever.

That’s a big update for just minor bug fixes!

The update didn't show until I unchecked "Install Updates Automatically". Anyway, I will take whatever fixes I can get.

Well ,there goes that killer bass. Thanks a lot all your whiney bastards who thought it packed too much punch at low levels. Sounds like a low end speaker now!
