iOS 11.2.5 reveals to the whole world new functions that the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), prepares them for release in the near future for customers around the world. We are talking here about a series of novelties discovered in iOS 11.2.5 that confirm some of the novelties that Apple intends to offer for the smart speaker HomePod.
iOS 11.2.5 confirms that Apple has implemented in HomePod a series of functions that allow disabling permanent listening for commands given to the personal assistant Siri. HomePod was designed from the very beginning to constantly listen to commands from users, but iOS 11.2.5 shows us that Apple will also allow you to disable this function.
We are talking about novelties discovered in iOS 11.2.5 that suggest that some of these functions could be automatically activated depending on what is happening in the room where the HomePod smart speaker is located. More precisely, depending on the number of voices heard in the room, or the music playing, HomePod could automatically disable Siri to stop listening to commands.
Separately, iOS 11.2.5 also confirms the fact that the HomePod smart speaker will be able to perceive multiple voices to take commands, so not only one person will be able to control the product. This functionality could also allow HomePod customization in terms of music playback, so each person in the room can benefit from a dedicated experience.
iOS 11.2.5 could be the iOS version with which HomePod could be launched, the smart speaker being certified for sale in the US, but for now it is not known when it will be put on sale.
