ABOUT FREAKING TIME!
This has been driving me nuts. Either the request is wrong or unheard entirely. Loved the 16.2 feature that broke shuffling a specific artist and set the first song to repeat.
Also loved having to activate Siri twice under 16.1 because the first time was a dud and didn’t actually enable the mic.
Plus the terrible new Siri activation tone that doesn’t play at the car’s set volume for all other CarPlay functions. Welcome to 2023.

No new emoji? What the hell is going on in Cupertino?!?!
I'd like to know as well. The wallpaper on my phone looks like some bad knockoff version. Perhaps because I'm in the beta program?

16.3 and no mention of the elusive Apple Pay later nor the High Yield Savings account with Apple Cash 🤔
This is the first I've heard about this. Are there any other articles or threads about this.
It’s “common knowledge” that apple can’t multitask. Adding emojis, fixing bugs and adding new functionality is not something apple does well. /s
My significant other finally has PARTIAL access back to HOMEKIT!
Frustratingly, she has access to Home, but not all the HomeKit items are responsive to her. She can see them again, but can’t access them 🤬. A Nanoleaf Element here, but not there. No access to with OG HomePod, but she can see them within the Home app.
ipads, iPhones, but not the 2022 tv was updated. The MacBook Pro is not part of the Home, so it doesn’t matter. The 2022 tv is the ”hub” and I wonder if that matters?

I’m not. I’m thinking we need to update to HomePodOS 16.3 when it’s released (this Wednesday if it’s released in tandem with TvOS).
It took me until NOW to realize it says "UNITY" in the wallpaper. 😐
Oops.
Support for security keys looks to be the biggest thing in this update. Hopefully iMessage Contact Key Verification will arrive in the next update.
Just open a high yield savings account with Marcus. I don't see Goldman Sachs, Apple's banking partner, offering a higher yield just for Apple users than their current 3.3% which isn't really that high to begin with considering you can get a 1 year T-Bill at 4.65% or CD around 4.4%
If you need your funds to be liquid, there are banks offering better yields (4.0% or more) like PNC Bank, UFB Direct, and CIT Bank.
This is probably the most boring update has ever come up with.
Thanks, I will check these out. I notice it states you need two on the Apple (and related) websites, but all videos point to one being used. Some suggest keep one at work and one at home; if that is the case, any idea why we need two?
It seems the HomePod OS hasn't been released yet and will follow at a later time?
zdnet also confirmed this:

Currently missing from the list of available updates are HomePodOS 16.3 and tvOS 16.3. "
